Best 235/55R19 All-Season Tires: 3 Picks and Fit Guide

This guide compares three 235/55R19 all-season tires on Amazon: the Continental CrossContact RX (101H), the Finalist UN108 four-pack (101V) and the Mastertrack M-Trac HP (101V). The size is common on crossovers and smaller SUVs. We have not road-tested them: the details below come from the listings and from retailer spec pages.

All three are listed at a 101 load index, so the choice is about brand, speed rating, how many tires you need and price. Confirm the size, load index and speed rating on your door-jamb placard or in the owner’s manual before ordering.

Quick picks: 235/55R19 all-season tires compared

Check fit before you buy

• Decode the size: 235 is the section width in millimeters, 55 is the sidewall height as a percentage of width, and 19 is the rim diameter in inches.
• Match the placard: use the size, load index and speed rating on your door-jamb sticker or in the owner’s manual as the minimum. See how to read the door-jamb tire sticker.
• Load index: 101 means up to 1,819 lb per tire.
• Speed rating: H is rated to 130 mph and V to 149 mph. Never go below the rating your vehicle specifies.
• Run-flat or standard: if your vehicle came with run-flat tires, check your manual before switching to standard tires, because tire pressure monitoring and spare-tire provisions may differ.
• Replace in sets: fit four matching tires when you can, especially on all-wheel drive.

The 235/55R19 tires in detail

Retailer pages list the CrossContact RX in 235/55R19 101H. The listing text mentions ContiSilent (noise reduction), ContiSeal (puncture sealing) and run-flat technology on select sizes. Check the listing title to see whether the 235/55R19 you are buying includes any of them, because they are not standard on every size.

The listing is a set of four UN108 tires in 235/55R19, and retailer pages list the size as 101V. It is a way to replace all four tires in one order. The listing mentions a 3-year road hazard warranty; road hazard coverage is different from a treadwear warranty, so read what it includes and how to claim.

Retailer pages list the M-Trac HP in 235/55R19 101V, matching this Amazon listing. The listing mentions a 50,000-mile limited warranty, which usually carries conditions such as rotation records. Check how many tires the listing includes, since this one appears to be for a single tire.

FAQ

What does 235/55R19 mean on a tire?

It means a 235 mm section width, a sidewall height of 55 percent of that width, a radial construction (R) and a 19-inch rim diameter. Your vehicle placard gives the load index and speed rating to meet or exceed.

Will 235/55R19 tires fit my vehicle?

Only if 235/55R19 is listed on your door-jamb placard or in the owner’s manual as an approved size. The size is used on many crossovers and smaller SUVs, but it varies by trim and year.

Will these tires handle snow and ice?

All-season tires handle cold, wet roads and light snow, but they are not winter tires. For regular snow and ice, look for the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol or use dedicated winter tires.

Can I replace run-flat tires with standard tires?

Often yes, but check your owner’s manual or ask a tire shop first. Vehicles built for run-flats may have no spare, and the monitoring system and ride tuning are set up for them.

How do I get the most life from these tires?

Check pressure monthly when the tires are cold using the door-jamb placard value, rotate them as your manual recommends, and keep the alignment checked. Replace tires at 2/32 inch of tread or sooner if they are damaged or old.

Which one to choose

The Continental CrossContact RX is the premium-brand choice for a quiet, original-equipment style fit. The Finalist UN108 four-pack suits a full replacement on a budget, and the Mastertrack M-Trac HP is the lower-cost single-tire option with a listed mileage warranty. Confirm the size, load index and quantity on the listing before you order.
