245/40 R18 Winter Tires – Used
The 245/40 R18 dimension is a widely used winter size for sporty compact vehicles, dynamic mid-range models, touring vehicles, performance editions, as well as modern hybrid and electric vehicles. With a wide tread of 245 mm and a sportily balanced 40-series aspect ratio, this size offers stable cornering, precise steering, high traction, and short braking distances – essential for winter conditions.
Vehicles in this category often feature:
-
larger brake systems (S-Line, M Sport, AMG Line),
-
sporty or comfort-oriented chassis tuning,
-
medium to increased axle loads,
-
front, rear, or all-wheel drive systems (Quattro, xDrive, 4Matic, AWD),
-
additional requirements for hybrid/EV models.
Therefore, Reifenshop Landshut subjects every used winter tire to a comprehensive technical inspection to ensure that tread, structure, and rolling characteristics comply with OEM specifications.
