VANTAGE Touring A/S 215/55R16 97H XL tire

VANTAGE Touring A/S 215/55R16 97H XL

The VANTAGE Touring A/S is an all-season touring tyre built for passenger cars, SUVs and CUVs. It carries a 97 load index and H speed rating approved for up to 130 mph. The 215/55R16 size fits 16-inch rims and features a black sidewall. A 500 UTQG treadwear rating and 50,000 mile warranty back the treadlife claim.

Sustained load handling with XL rating

The XL load range reinforces the casing to carry heavier loads at the same inflation pressure as a standard load tyre. This extra capacity keeps the contact patch stable during long motorway runs or when the vehicle is fully loaded. The optimised tread elements maintain consistent road contact, supporting steady cornering and braking performance over distance. Wide circumferential grooves evacuate water continuously to resist hydroplaning in persistent rain.

Thermals noise and power draw in normal use

The special compound blend stays pliable across a wide temperature range, reducing heat buildup during extended driving. A variable pitch pattern and tapered tread blocks work together to lower pattern noise inside the cabin. Lower rolling resistance from the touring construction helps minimise the energy needed to keep the tyre turning. The result is a quieter ride with less temperature-related pressure fluctuation.
