Understanding the 245/50R18 XL size
In the size code 245/50R18, 245 is the section width in millimetres (about 9.6"). 50 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 50% of the width, or roughly 122.5 mm. R18 means radial construction on a 18-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 27.6".
The load index 104 means each tire supports up to 1,984 lbs — about 7,936 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol V certifies the tire to 149 mph under its rated load. Always match or exceed the load index and speed rating listed on your vehicle's door-jamb placard.
Tread life and grip ratings
This tire carries a UTQG rating of 600 A A. The treadwear grade of 600 is a relative durability score — a grade of 200 is expected to last roughly twice as long as a grade of 100 under the same controlled test. Traction grade A measures straight-line wet stopping grip (AA is highest, then A, B and C). Temperature grade A reflects heat resistance at sustained speed (A is highest).
Price and value
At $163.77 per tire, a full set of four costs $655.08. That is about 13% below the average price of the 63 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 60,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $10.92 per 1,000 miles across the set.
