Understanding the P235/55R18 XL size
In the size code 235/55R18, 235 is the section width in millimetres (about 9.3"). 55 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 55% of the width, or roughly 129.3 mm. R18 means radial construction on a 18-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 28.2".
The load index 102 means each tire supports up to 1,874 lbs — about 7,496 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 500 A A. The treadwear grade of 500 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 $125.80 per tire, a full set of four costs $503.20. That is about 21% below the average price of the 147 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 65,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $7.74 per 1,000 miles across the set.
