Speed ratings on offer: (Y) (301 km/h), Y (300 km/h), W (270 km/h), V (240 km/h), H (210 km/h), T (190 km/h), S (180 km/h), Q (160 km/h). 259 tires in this size carry the 3PMSF severe snow marking.

The most fuel efficient choice: 7 tires in this size reach rolling resistance class A. The highest scoring on Tire Reviews:

67dB Quietest tires

The quietest 245/40 R18 tires are labelled at 67 dB external noise:

Label values come from the EU EPREL database and apply to the EU market versions of each tire. Wet grip and rolling resistance run from class A (best) to E; noise is the measured drive-by figure. A good label is a floor, not a verdict - the tests and owner ratings above tell you far more.

How long do 245/40 R18 tires last?

Across 78 end of life reviews in this size, a typical set of tires was worn out after 12,427 miles. Half of all worn-out sets lasted between 8,000 miles and 24,000 miles.

Distances are self-reported by drivers whose review marked the set as worn out; figures are medians, so a single unusual report cannot move them. Driving style and the car matter more than the size itself.

What does 245/40 R18 mean?

A 245/40 R18 tire is 245 mm wide, its sidewall is 40% of that width (98 mm) tall, and it fits a 18 inch wheel. That gives an overall diameter of roughly 653 mm.

What drivers say about their 245/40 R18 tires

The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.

Michelin Pilot Sport 5 245/40 R18 BMW M140i 20,000 miles October 20, 2026

Good grip - really deal well with the car - although they do wear out pretty fast - always been an issue on that car, especially if wheel alignments missed.

71%
Michelin Pilot Sport 5 245/40 R18 Lexus GS460 15,000 miles October 17, 2026

These were a big improvement over the Pilot Sport 4 I had on previously, I got about 3000 miles more out of them - though they still wore very quickly, that's high performance tires for you. As with those the grip levels were insane. NVH definitely increased as the tires wore down.
Most of my driving is town and country, with some highway - quite a bit of spirited driving on winding country backroads. New Zealand is pretty wet too, so a lot of wet driving. I never had these tires in the snow as it doesn't snow this far north, but did drive them on icy roads and grip was poor, but very predictable.
After they wore out I decided to switch to an all season tire and fitted a set of BF Goodrich Advantage Control - and that is when I noticed how harsh and crashy the PS5 was in comparison. The new tires suit the Lexus better as a comfortable cruiser, even if they don't offer anywhere near the performance.
I think I'd buy these again for a different, sportier car though. They are fantastic for spirited driving.

Continental SportContact 7 245/40 R18 BMW 530i 5,000 miles October 17, 2026

For performence - perfect
For comfort and noise - ok
For feedback - very good
For wear - ok if the car is not too powerful
For wet handling - perfect
For dry handling - perfect
If u want tire for performence at all cost this is the tire you, but u have to be ready to sacrifce everything else in the face of comfort, ,fuel consumption and definetly wear. The tire is planted to the road. I have 285/30 r20 on other car withe RWD and 700 newton meters and the wear there was catastrophic. But on this size 245/40 r 18 with RWD but 350 newtons the wear is accebtable.Definetly recomend hand down.

Avon ZV7 245/40 R18 Mercedes Benz W205 10,000 miles October 12, 2026

I put a pair of these tires on the rear of a Mercedes C220d. I didn't record the mileage but checked my MOT mileage 2 months after fitting and showed 55k. 14 months later, current mileage is 64k and just had an advisory on the MOT to change as they are down to 2mm across the center. My driving is a 7 mile commute to work mixed with some motorway driving. I have tire pressure monitoring and the recorded pressure is as advised by MB so not over inflated. Really disappointed with these tires and will not buy again.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 245/40 R18 Audi A4 24,855 miles October 12, 2026

I'm using the tires on my Audi A4. The grip from the tires decreases on very hot asphalt. The wet grip is really nice. The steering response and feedback are great. Even though I've driven 40,000km, the tires still feel like they're only halfway worn. I will probably use them comfortably up to 60,000.

Michelin Pilot Sport 5 245/40 R18 Audi A4 14,000 miles September 27, 2026

I switched on the front form the original Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3. I knew that it is a better tire but afraid to suffer high noise level. It was proven to be as quit as the GY but superior handling. I am driving a front wheel drive car which puts high pressure on the front axel. The Michelin is proving to handle it very well.

Where this data comes from

Owner ratings are submitted through the review form on this site, naming the tire, the size and the distance covered, and are checked by hand before publication. Test results come from independent published tire tests indexed by size, and label values from the EU EPREL database.

About the TR Score

The Tire Reviews Score rates each tire out of 10 using independent test results and the full body of owner reviews, so you can check a car-specific ranking against the wider evidence.

Who does the testing

Every test published as a Tire Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tires independently since 2007.
