Understanding the 275/65R18 size

In the size code 275/65R18, 275 is the section width in millimetres (about 10.8"). 65 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 65% of the width, or roughly 178.8 mm. R18 means radial construction on a 18-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 32.1".

The load index 116 means each tire supports up to 2,756 lbs — about 11,024 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 Hercules Terra Trac Cross-V AW is built for

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