Understanding the 275/40R18 size

In the size code 275/40R18, 275 is the section width in millimetres (about 10.8"). 40 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 40% of the width, or roughly 110 mm. R18 means radial construction on a 18-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 26.7".

The load index 99 means each tire supports up to 1,709 lbs — about 6,836 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol W certifies the tire to 168 mph under its rated load. Always match or exceed the load index and speed rating listed on your vehicle's door-jamb placard.

What the Toyo Extensa HP II is built for

The Toyo Extensa HP II is an all-season tire, balancing dry grip, wet traction and tread life across spring, summer and autumn conditions. It carries an M+S (mud and snow) marking for light winter service. Fitment category: Passenger Car, Performance, HP.

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 $173.81 per tire, a full set of four costs $695.24. That is about 28% below the average price of the 51 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 45,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $15.45 per 1,000 miles across the set.
