255/50 R18 Winter Tires – Used

The tire size 255/50 R18 is a typical winter dimension for mid-size SUVs, robust crossover models, touring vehicles, as well as powerful hybrid and electric vehicles. The wide 255-mm tread in combination with the comfort-oriented 50-series aspect ratio offers high traction, good snow performance, stable lateral guidance, and quiet rolling behavior – especially important for vehicles with higher axle loads.

SUV and crossover models that use this dimension often feature:

• larger brake systems,

• medium to high axle loads,

• all-wheel drive systems (AWD, 4x4, xDrive, Quattro, 4Matic),

• comfort-oriented suspension tuning,

• increased requirements for hybrid/EV models.

Used winter tires in this dimension must therefore be inspected with particular care. Reifenshop Landshut ensures that each model has sufficient remaining tread, functional sipes, a stable carcass structure, vibration-free concentricity, and an OEM-compliant rolling circumference.
