Which Cars Use 235/60 R18?

The mid-size SUV size: Land Rover Discovery Sport and Range Rover Evoque, Volvo XC60, Audi Q5, BMW X3 in run-flat form, Mercedes GLC, Jaguar F-Pace and E-Pace, Kia Sorento, Hyundai Santa Fe, Ford Edge, Alfa Romeo Stelvio and many others on 18-inch wheels.

Treat this list as a guide, not a guarantee: manufacturers fit different sizes to different trims and wheel options, so check the label inside the driver's door or read the sidewall.

What 235/60 R18 Means

235/60 R18 tells you three things and implies a fourth: a 235 mm wide tread, a sidewall 60 per cent as tall as that width (about 141 mm), a 18-inch wheel, and therefore an overall diameter of about 739 mm. The letters and numbers that follow on the sidewall (for example 103V) are the load index and speed rating, and they matter as much as the size itself.

Load and Speed Ratings on 235/60 R18

In this size the codes you will meet are 103V, 107V XL, 103W, 107W XL and 103H. They are printed on the door-jamb label for your exact car and they are the first thing we check by registration, because two identical-looking cars can need different ones. Under-specifying either code is an MOT failure and an insurance risk; over-specifying is harmless.

Good to know

Do I have to replace all four 235/60 R18 tyres on a four-wheel-drive SUV? Often, yes. Most four-wheel-drive systems require closely matched tread depths across all four to avoid loading the transfer box and couplings. We measure all four and advise honestly whether one, two or four is right.

What to Watch For on This Size

These are two-tonne cars that tow, carry families and, in Norfolk, go down farm tracks, so the load index is the first thing we check: 103 is the minimum on most and 107 XL on the heavier plug-in hybrids and towing fitments. Four-wheel-drive versions need matched tread depths across all four wheels to protect the drivetrain. All-season versions in this size are excellent for a county with wet winters and the occasional icy lane, and all-terrain patterns exist for the ones that work.

Brands Available in 235/60 R18

Premium and mid-range with SUV-specific ranges: Michelin Latitude and CrossClimate SUV, Continental PremiumContact and CrossContact, Goodyear EfficientGrip SUV and Vector 4Seasons SUV, Bridgestone Alenza, Pirelli Scorpion, Hankook Ventus and Dynapro, Kumho Crugen, Falken Ziex, Yokohama Geolandar, Nexen Roadian, Vredestein Quatrac, Cooper, General and BFGoodrich for the all-terrain end.

Each brand has its own page explaining who makes it and who it suits; the full brand list is tiered honestly. On the phone we quote two or three options in your size with the EU label for each, so you can weigh wet grip and noise against price.
