About the 265/60R18 Tire

The 265/60R18 is a common tire size for trucks and large SUVs such as Toyota 4Runner, Jeep Wrangler, and Ford F-150.

With a 159.0 mm sidewall (60% aspect ratio), this tire provides a smooth, cushioned ride that absorbs road imperfections well — ideal for daily commuting and highway cruising.

Compared to the baseline 235/45R18, this tire's overall diameter differs by +15.9% — a speedometer calibrated for 235/45R18 would read 86.3 km/h at an actual 100 km/h.

Fitted to full-size pickup base/mid trims including the Ford F-150, Toyota Tundra (XK30) Limited and Lexus GX 460 (J150). Load index 110V or 114S reinforced. P-metric on luxury truck trims, LT-metric for tow-rated specifications.

Truck sizes here are often P-metric on lighter trims and LT-metric on tow-rated specifications — the difference matters. LT versions in load range D or E carry roughly 30-40% more vertical load and tolerate the off-axis stresses of bumper-pull towing. Verify the door-jamb placard for the originally specified construction; mixing P and LT on the same axle is dangerous and voids warranty on most pickups.
