The Mirage MR-HP-172 255/55 R19 is an XL-rated 19-inch tyre in the MR-HP172 range, a pattern Mirage positions for crossover and luxury SUV road use. The size combines a 255 mm section width, a 55 aspect ratio, radial construction and a 19-inch rim diameter. Mirage publishes this specific version with a 111V XL service description.
The MR-HP-172 uses an asymmetric tread design rather than identical inner and outer tread zones. Wide circumferential grooves provide channels for moving water away from the contact patch, while the outer rib and shoulder area is designed to support cornering grip and directional stability. Mirage also uses a silica-enriched tread compound in the pattern, with the compound intended to maintain useful wet and dry traction while reducing rolling resistance.
19-Inch SUV Fitment with a 55 Profile
The 55 aspect ratio gives this 255 mm-wide tyre a nominal sidewall height of approximately 140 mm. Although that sidewall height is the same as the 255/55 R18 version, the 19-inch wheel increases the tyre's overall diameter. The two sizes are therefore not interchangeable simply because they share the same width and profile ratio.
For vehicles in Pakistan already approved for 255/55 R19, this version provides the MR-HP-172 tread design in a relatively substantial SUV tyre package. Its water evacuation system is relevant during wet road conditions, while the outer tread structure supports controlled cornering and paved-road handling. Correct fitment remains especially important on SUVs because wheel diameter, brake clearance, suspension clearance and total tyre diameter all need to remain within the vehicle manufacturer's limits.
Mirage lists the 255/55 R19 MR-HP172 as 111V XL. Before installation, the physical tyre should be checked for the correct load index, speed symbol and XL marking. The size should only be fitted where it is approved for the exact vehicle and wheel combination. Cold inflation pressure must follow the vehicle placard or owner documentation, while regular pressure, alignment and tread inspections help maintain even wear and predictable road behaviour.
MR HP-172 Technology
Asymmetric tread pattern. The MR-HP-172 uses different tread zones across the tyre rather than a symmetrical layout, allowing the inner and outer sections to perform different road-handling functions.
Wide circumferential grooves. Longitudinal channels running around the tread provide direct pathways for moving water away from the contact area, supporting wet-road drainage and reducing water build-up beneath the tyre.
Outer straight rib and shoulder design. Mirage uses a more stable outer tread area designed to support cornering grip and directional control during paved-road driving.
Silica-enriched tread compound. The MR-HP-172 uses a silica-enriched rubber compound developed to support traction on both wet and dry road surfaces while contributing to reduced rolling resistance.
Road-focused performance construction. Mirage positions the MR-HP-172 for crossover and luxury SUV applications where steering stability, paved-road grip and controlled road behaviour are key requirements.
XL construction in these sizes. The 255/55 R18, 255/55 R19, 255/50 R20, 275/40 R20 and 275/45 R20 versions covered here are published as XL specifications, although their individual load indexes and speed ratings differ.
Radial construction. All of these MR-HP-172 sizes use radial construction, represented by the R designation in the tyre size.

Understanding Tyre Size 255/55 R19 / How to Read Tyre Size
Vehicles with 255/55 R19 Tyre Size
What does 255/55 R19 mean?
255/55 R19 is the tyre size.
255 is the maximum width of the tyre in milimetres(mm). When the vehicle is fully loaded its width can expand maximum upto 255 milimetres(mm).
55 is the ratio among width and height of the tyre from its rim. it means that the height of the tyre is precisely 55% of the 255mm. Lower ratio improves road grip, but it reduces comfort to some extent.
R – refers to the method the tyre is produced. The letter “R” is found on all modern car tyres. It indicates the radial structure of tyre cosntructed with steel wires.
19 represents the diameter of the rim. It is a measurement in inches(“). This number should be rememberd as it is the measurement of the rims. It has to match exactly to what is mentioned in the car manual.
