Understanding the 265/60R18 size

In the size code 265/60R18, 265 is the section width in millimetres (about 10.4"). 60 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 60% of the width, or roughly 159 mm. R18 means radial construction on a 18-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 30.5".

The load index 110 means each tire supports up to 2,337 lbs — about 9,348 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol T certifies the tire to 118 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 Kumho Crugen HT51 is built for

It carries the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol, meaning it passed a standardised severe-snow traction test.

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 720 A A. The treadwear grade of 720 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 $165.32 per tire, a full set of four costs $661.28. That is about 8% below the average price of the 135 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 70,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $9.45 per 1,000 miles across the set.
