225/40 R18 Sommerreifen – Gebraucht

The tire size 225/40 R18 is one of the most commonly used sizes for compact sports models, mid-range vehicles, GTI/ST/R-Line variants, sporty sedans, and modern hybrid and electric vehicles with dynamic setups.

The combination of a 225 mm width and a flat 40 series aspect ratio allows for precise steering responses, high lateral stability, sporty handling, and short braking distances – especially relevant for dynamic road driving.

Many vehicles in this class feature larger braking systems, stiffer suspensions, direct steering geometries, and some even have all-wheel drive systems (4Motion, Quattro, xDrive). Therefore, a technically sound condition of used summer tires is essential.

Reifenshop Landshut strictly inspects every 225/40 R18 tire according to OEM criteria, particularly regarding structure, concentricity, and load capacity.
