225/45 R18 Winter Tires – Used

The 225/45 R18 dimension is one of the most sought-after winter sizes for compact vehicles, sporty compact models, premium mid-range vehicles, and modern hybrid vehicles. With its sporty 45 series sidewall height and balanced width, it offers an ideal combination of steering precision, braking stability, winter traction, and efficiency.

Vehicles with this tire dimension often feature:

• precise axle geometries,

• larger brake systems,

• sport suspensions,

• optional all-wheel-drive systems (AWD/xDrive/4Matic/Quattro).

Therefore, a detailed technical inspection of used winter tires is absolutely essential. Reifenshop Landshut checks every tire for remaining tread, DOT, sipe performance, carcass structure, concentricity, and OEM-compliant rolling circumference values.

This size is also very common on hybrid and efficient electric vehicles, which require winter tires with a stable structure due to their higher weight.
