The size 275/40 R18 is a classic high-performance summer size for sports sedans, coupes, powerful rear-wheel-drive vehicles, and dynamic all-wheel-drive models. The wide tread of 275 mm offers a large contact area for maximum traction, strong braking performance, high cornering stability, and precise handling. The 40-series aspect ratio simultaneously ensures a balanced mix of sportiness and residual comfort.
This tire size is frequently used on vehicles with wide brake systems, high engine power, sporty suspensions, and sensitive traction systems. Therefore, a particularly thorough technical inspection is required for used 18-inch summer tires.
Reifenshop Landshut ensures that every used 275/40 R18 tire has an intact carcass, sufficient tread depth, correct LI/SI values, flawless concentricity, and an OEM-compliant rolling circumference.
