For a 245/45R19 replacement, the number after the size is part of the fitment: a 98Y standard-load tire is not the same specification as a 102Y XL tire. Match the door-jamb placard, original-equipment requirements, and any staggered setup before selecting a line. The eight tires below are current U.S. listings in this exact size. They are all all-season performance categories except the Pilot Sport 4S, which was removed because its current price could not be confirmed in this pass. None has a severe-snow rating in the listings cited, so use a dedicated winter tire where that rating is required.

The picks, in detail
Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus
Continental uses a 98Y standard-load casing, 10/32-inch tread, and 50,000-mile coverage in this exact size. It suits a vehicle whose placard permits the 98Y standard-load specification, rather than an XL substitute.
- 98Y SL; 10/32 inch tread depth
- UTQG 560 AA A; Continental 50,000-mile coverage with a 60-day trial
- 7.5-9 inch approved rim width
- Standard-load 98Y is distinct from the 102Y XL options
- Approved 7.5-9 inch rim-width range is published for this SL fitment
- No three-peak snowflake marking is shown for this 98Y listing
Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4
Michelin offers 102Y XL construction with UTQG 540 AA A and 45,000-mile coverage. Confirm that the vehicle calls for 102Y XL, because load description is part of the fitment rather than a performance label.
- 102Y XL; UTQG 540 AA A
- Michelin 45,000-mile treadwear coverage
- Michelin lists this exact 245/45ZR19 fitment
- XL 102Y load/speed specification
- 45,000-mile coverage is paired with the exact 102Y XL listing
- This 102Y all-season listing is not certified for severe snow
Pirelli P Zero AS Plus 3
Pirelli combines 102Y XL fitment with an asymmetric pattern and 50,000-mile warranty. Its manufacturer says this fitment is not for severe ice and snow, despite its all-season classification.
- 102Y XL; UTQG 560 A AA
- Pirelli 50,000-mile coverage; UTQG 560 A AA
- Asymmetric pattern with longitudinal grooves
- Pirelli publishes the 50,000-mile coverage
- Longitudinal grooves are part of its asymmetric tread layout
- Pirelli explicitly says severe ice-and-snow use: no
Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS+
Bridgestone supplies a 98W standard-load option with 10/32-inch tread depth. Verify that the car permits 98W before fitting it, since this is not the 102Y XL specification offered by several rivals.
- 98W SL; UTQG 500 AA A
- Bridgestone 50,000-mile coverage with 10/32-inch tread
- 10/32 inch tread depth
- 98W differs from the 102Y XL choices
- Published 10/32-inch tread depth adds a concrete construction detail
- Bridgestone sells this 98W as all-season rather than severe-snow
Falken Azenis FK460 A/S
Falken Silent Core adds a foam insert to its 102Y XL FK460 A/S version. The foam insert is the relevant construction distinction, while the 102Y XL service description must still match the vehicle placard.
- 102Y XL; 50,000-mile treadwear coverage
- Silent Core foam insert
- All-season UHP category
- Foam insert is specific to Silent Core version
- 50,000-mile coverage accompanies the foam-equipped 102Y XL version
- Silent Core does not change the absence of a severe-snow rating
Vredestein Hypertrac All Season
Vredestein specifies 102Y XL, UTQG 500 AA A, and 50,000-mile coverage. It is an ultra-high-performance all-season product, so its 102Y XL service description should be matched across an axle.
- 102Y XL; UTQG 500 AA A
- Vredestein 50,000-mile coverage; UTQG 500 AA A
- Vredestein 100-day trial applies to an eligible set of four
- Published Vredestein Hypertrac All Season published treadwear coverage
- Eligible sets of four receive Vredestein’s 100-day trial terms
- Hypertrac listing shows no severe-snow service symbol
Yokohama ADVAN Sport A/S+
Yokohama uses its HS-2 compound and gives this 102Y XL fitment 55,000-mile coverage. The 55,000-mile coverage is specific to this line; check 102Y XL approval rather than substituting a different Yokohama size.
- 102Y XL; UTQG 440 AA A
- 55,000-mile warranty
- HS-2 compound and four-pitch variation
- Longest stated warranty in this eight-tire set
- HS-2 compound and four-pitch variation are both named by Yokohama
- The A/S+ service description is not a severe-snow certification
Kumho Ecsta PA51
Kumho lists 102W XL with full-depth sipes and circumferential and lateral grooves. Its W speed rating and XL load range should be matched to the placard before purchase, not inferred from the common 245/45R19 size.
- 102W XL; UTQG 500 AA A
- Kumho 45,000-mile treadwear coverage
- Circumferential/lateral grooves and full-depth sipes
- Kumho states 45,000-mile coverage for this 102W XL size
- Full-depth sipes are specified alongside the groove layout
- PA51 full-depth sipes do not make it three-peak snowflake rated
Buying tips
- Match the load index and speed rating to the vehicle placard or approved replacement specification.
- Do not mix 98Y standard-load and 102Y XL variants on an axle without confirming the vehicle requirement.
- All-season does not mean severe-snow rated; check the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake marking when winter use requires it.
- Order the same exact service description on both tires of an axle.
- Confirm whether the vehicle uses a staggered front/rear setup before buying four identical tires.
