Quick Specs
Size: 205/40R17
Brand / Model: Kumho PS72
Season: Summer
Vehicle Type: Passenger
Load / Speed: 84Y (Load index 84 supports up to 500 kg per tire; speed rating Y rated up to 300 km/h)
Certifications: XL (Extra Load)
Delivery (Ontario & Quebec): Free shipping • 1–3 business days (Ontario and Quebec)
XL (Extra Load) — built to handle higher inflation pressures and heavier loads than a standard-load tire of the same size.
What these tire specs mean
Load index 84 means each tire can carry up to 500 kg. Check your door jamb placard — the tire needs to meet or beat the load rating your manufacturer specifies.
Speed rating Y is the maximum sustained speed this tire is designed to handle under proper conditions. That works out to 300 km/h under correct load and inflation — not a target, just the rated ceiling.
UTQG 320 AA A is a manufacturer-assigned grade for treadwear, traction, and temperature performance. Useful for comparing within the same brand — but it’s not a mileage guarantee, and ratings aren’t standardized across manufacturers.
Summer tires are built for maximum warm-weather grip — dry and wet roads where compound stickiness and tread design matter most. They harden in near-freezing temperatures and are not suitable for Ontario or Quebec winter driving.
XL means Extra Load. These tires run at higher inflation pressures and handle more weight than a standard-load tire of the same size. If your vehicle’s factory spec calls for XL, that’s what you need — swapping to standard load can affect ride, handling, and safety.
Vehicle type indicates the service category this tire is built for — passenger car, light truck, commercial, or other. Matching the right category matters for load capacity, handling, and safety.
Warranty coverage is backed by the manufacturer and applies under normal use — regular rotations, correct inflation, and proper alignment. Keep maintenance records if you ever need to make a claim.
Where this tire fits in
The 205/40R17 Kumho PS72 is a summer tire, built around a 205 mm section width for a 17-inch wheel.
In practical terms, this size gives you a 40-series sidewall of about 82 mm paired with a 17-inch wheel diameter — confirm this against your current tire’s sidewall marking before ordering.
Worth noting on the spec side: this tire carries an XL extra load rating, load index 84 and speed rating Y (~300 km/h), UTQG 320 AA A when provided by the manufacturer.
About the 205/40R17 tire size
The 205/40R17 breaks down into three numbers:
205 — tread width in millimetres, measured across the contact patch
40 — sidewall height as a percentage of the tread width (roughly 82 mm of rubber between road and rim)
R17 — radial construction, for a 17-inch wheel
The 205/40R17 size is commonly found on mid size sedans and crossovers. Replacing a set? The full size marking is on your current tire’s sidewall — confirm width, profile, and rim diameter all match before you order.

Is the 205/40R17 Kumho PS72 a Summer tire?
Yes — the 205/40R17 Kumho PS72 is categorized as a Summer tire.
What does the 84Y rating mean on the 205/40R17 Kumho PS72?
The 84Y on the Kumho PS72 breaks into two numbers: load index 84, meaning each tire carries up to 500 kg, rated to approximately 300 km/h; and speed rating Y, rated to 300 km/h under proper load and inflation. Your door jamb placard lists the minimum ratings your vehicle requires — match or exceed both.
Is the 205/40R17 Kumho PS72 3PMS rated?
No — the Kumho PS72 doesn’t carry the 3PMS symbol. If Quebec winter compliance or severe snow traction is a priority, you’d want a tire that does.
Is the 205/40R17 Kumho PS72 studdable?
Studdable status is not confirmed for this tire. Reach out and we’ll check the manufacturer specs for you.
Does the 205/40R17 Kumho PS72 support run flat driving?
No — the Kumho PS72 is a standard tire, not a run flat. If your vehicle came equipped with run flats, your replacement set needs to be run flat-capable too.
Is the 205/40R17 Kumho PS72 an XL (extra load) tire?
Yes — the Kumho PS72 is XL rated. It’s designed for higher inflation pressures and greater load capacity than a standard-load tire of the same size. If your current tires are XL, your replacement should be too.
What does speed rating Y mean on the 205/40R17 Kumho PS72?
Speed rating Y on the Kumho PS72 corresponds to a maximum sustained speed of 300 km/h under proper load and inflation. In practice, this tells you the performance category the tire is built for — not a number to chase on public roads.
Can I order the 205/40R17 Kumho PS72 with delivery to Ontario or Quebec?
Yes — we ship the 205/40R17 Kumho PS72 across Ontario and Quebec. Free shipping • 1–3 business days (Ontario and Quebec).
