How to choose 215/45R17 high-performance all-season tires
- Confirm the size. 215/45R17 means 215 mm width, a 45 percent sidewall and a 17-inch wheel.
- Match load index and speed rating. Three listings show a 91W XL rating, which carries up to 1,356 lb per tire. Stay at or above your manual’s specification.
- Check pack size. A pair is not a full set. The Landgolden listing is for two tires.
- Understand the warranties. A tread warranty covers wear; a road hazard warranty covers certain puncture damage. They are different and have conditions.
- Remember winter limits. High-performance all-season tires lose grip in the cold; use winter tires for regular snow or ice.
Other sizes: 17-inch performance all-season tires and 205/55R16 all-season tires.

FAQ
What does 215/45R17 mean?
215 mm section width, a sidewall height of 45 percent of the width, radial construction and a 17-inch wheel.
What does 91W XL mean?
91 is the load index (1,356 lb per tire), W is the speed rating (up to 168 mph) and XL means extra load construction.
Are high-performance all-season tires good in winter?
They manage rain and light snow, but grip drops in the cold. For regular snow or ice use winter tires with the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol.
Is road hazard the same as a tread warranty?
No. Tread warranties cover premature wear; road hazard coverage deals with certain puncture or impact damage. Both have conditions.
Can I replace just two tires?
Possibly, with the new pair on the rear axle, but follow your owner’s manual. All-wheel-drive cars usually need matching tread depth.
Wrapping up
For a full set, the Landspider and Mastertrack listings are sets of four; the Lionhart is the one with a tread warranty but is a single tire. These are budget brands, so check the current listing for size, rating and coverage before buying.
