235/45 R18 is a widely-used SUV and crossover tyre size fitted to a large number of popular vehicles across the West Midlands, including the Nissan Qashqai, Ford Kuga, Peugeot 3008, Hyundai Tucson, Kia Sportage, Volkswagen Tiguan, Toyota RAV4, SEAT Ateca, Vauxhall Grandland and other popular crossovers and compact SUVs. The 235mm tread width provides the road contact area that these larger, heavier vehicles need for safe braking, cornering stability and all-weather grip.
Knowing your tyre size helps when checking or replacing tyres. The first figure — 235 — is the tread width in millimetres. The second figure — 45 — is the aspect ratio, meaning the sidewall height is 45% of the tread width, giving this tyre a low-profile sidewall that blends sporty handling with everyday practicality. Cornering response is crisper than on standard-profile tyres, while still offering reasonable protection against the kerbs and potholes common across the West Midlands. The "R" indicates radial construction; the final figure — 18 — is the wheel rim diameter in inches.
Tyre choice matters particularly for SUVs and crossovers. Heavier vehicles place greater demands on tyres during braking and cornering, and wet-weather performance becomes especially important. We stock 235/45 R18 in premium brands including Michelin CrossClimate and Pilot Sport SUV, Continental CrossContact, Pirelli Scorpion, Bridgestone Alenza and Goodyear Eagle — all designed with SUV-specific compounds that meet the demands of heavier vehicles. We also carry mid-range options from Hankook, Nexen, Falken and Davanti, and budget choices where appropriate.
We cover Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Walsall, Dudley, Coventry, Solihull and all surrounding West Midlands areas. Professional wheel balancing is included at no extra charge with every tyre we fit.
