Understanding the 225/60R18 XL size

In the size code 225/60R18, 225 is the section width in millimetres (about 8.9"). 60 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 60% of the width, or roughly 135 mm. R18 means radial construction on a 18-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 28.6".

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.

What the Hankook ION EVO AS SUV (IH01A) is built for

The Hankook ION EVO AS SUV (IH01A) 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. It is classified for highway terrain(h/t) use.

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 $200.24 per tire, a full set of four costs $800.96. That is about 33% above the average of the 123 tires we stock in this size, reflecting its position in the range. Backed by a 55,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $14.56 per 1,000 miles across the set.
