Understanding the 255/60R18 XL size

In the size code 255/60R18, 255 is the section width in millimetres (about 10"). 60 is the aspect ratio — the sidewall height is 60% of the width, or roughly 153 mm. R18 means radial construction on a 18-inch wheel, giving an approximate overall diameter of 30".

The load index 112 means each tire supports up to 2,469 lbs — about 9,876 lbs across a full set of four. The speed symbol H certifies the tire to 130 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 Bridgestone Dueler A/T Ascent is built for

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

Tread life and grip ratings

This tire carries a UTQG rating of 640 A B. The treadwear grade of 640 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 B reflects heat resistance at sustained speed (A is highest).

Price and value

At $200.99 per tire, a full set of four costs $803.96. That sits close to the average for the 44 tires we stock in this size. Backed by a 60,000-mile treadwear warranty, that works out to roughly $13.40 per 1,000 miles across the set.
