225/55 R18 Winter Tires – Used

The tire size 225/55 R18 is a widely used winter dimension for crossover models, compact and mid-size SUVs, touring vehicles, as well as numerous hybrid and electric vehicles. The 55 aspect ratio offers an optimal compromise of winter traction, driving comfort, stable cornering, and quiet rolling behavior.

Vehicles in this category often feature:

• medium to high axle loads,

• larger braking systems,

• comfort-oriented or slightly sporty suspension setups,

• front, rear, or all-wheel drive (xDrive, Quattro, 4Matic, AWD),

• hybrid or EV-specific weight distribution.

Due to these technical requirements, a precise inspection of used winter tires is necessary. Reifenshop Landshut ensures that every tire has sufficient residual tread, functional sipes, an intact carcass, stable concentricity, and OEM-correct rolling circumference.
