Understanding the 225/45R18 XL size

In the size code 225/45R18, 225 is the section width in millimetres (about 8.9"). 45 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 45% of the width, or roughly 101.3 mm. R18 means radial construction on a 18-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 26".

The load index 95 means each tire supports up to 1,521 lbs — about 6,084 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 $186.87 per tire, a full set of four costs $747.48. That is about 16% above the average of the 170 tires we stock in this size, reflecting its position in the range.
