285/45 R21 Winter Tires – Used

The winter dimension 285/45 R21 is one of the large-format premium SUV tire sizes used in luxury SUVs, performance SUVs, sporty 4x4 vehicles, and powerful hybrid and electric vehicles. With its extremely wide tread and stable 45-series aspect ratio, this size offers maximum winter traction, braking power, lateral guidance, and driving stability – especially for heavy vehicles with high wheel loads.

For used winter tires of this dimension, particularly careful technical assessment is required. Reifenshop Landshut inspects every model in detail, as vehicles in the 285/45 R21 class are usually equipped with:

• high axle & vehicle weights,

• powerful engines,

• large-format braking systems,

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

Sufficient residual tread depth, functional sipes, an intact carcass, and an OEM-compliant rolling circumference are essential prerequisites for safe use.

This tire size is also in high demand for electric SUVs, which require particularly stable winter tires due to their high torque and weight.
