Choosing a 225/55R18 tyre

Choose the load and speed rating shown on your tyre placard, then compare brands and tread patterns side by side. Cheap 225/55R18 tyres are available, but match the required specifications rather than choosing on price alone.
225/55R18 all terrain tyres are available for drivers who regularly use gravel roads or mild tracks, but this is not a dedicated off-road size. The catalogue has 10 all terrain options. Check clearance, noise and the vehicle maker's approved specifications before fitting an all terrain pattern.
