255/50 R18 Summer Tires – Used

The tire dimension 255/50 R18 is a typical SUV and crossover size used on medium to large vehicles. Due to its 255 mm wide contact patch and balanced 50-series aspect ratio, it offers an excellent combination of:

• high traction

• stable cornering

• good braking performance

• comfortable rolling

This tire dimension is preferably mounted on vehicles that have:

• increased axle loads,

• larger braking systems,

• all-wheel drive (AWD/4x4), or

• hybrid/electric modules with higher weight

.

Used summer tires in 255/50 R18 must therefore be inspected particularly carefully to ensure carcass stability, roundness precision, and OEM rolling circumference.
