Below are real prices for 215 tires in stock, three picks with their size-specific specifications, and the longest-wearing tire in this lineup.
Yes, this fits your Nissan Pathfinder. 235/65R18 is the original size on the 2013-2020 Nissan Pathfinder.
The sticker inside the driver's door is still the final word, because trim and wheel package can change the size. Back to every Nissan Pathfinder size.

Treadwear 820: what the number buys
Our premium pick in this size is graded 820 for treadwear and warranted for 85,000 miles, one of the longest mileage warranties sold on a passenger tire. Treadwear grades are relative: a tire graded 820 should outlast one graded 540 by about half again on the same car and roads. On a crossover that covers a lot of highway miles, that difference is worth more than the price gap.
Mileage warranties are typically prorated: if the tire wears out early, the credit is based on the miles it fell short, not a free replacement. Keep the receipt and a record of rotations, since most warranties require regular rotation.
T or V on a family crossover
In this size the Milestar and Goodyear are 106V tires, while the General is 106T. All three carry the same load rating, 2,094 pounds per tire, but the speed rating on the placard varies between models and trims. If yours says V, a T-rated tire is a downgrade and we would not choose it. If yours says T or H, all three qualify.
What the numbers on the sidewall mean
A 235/65R18 tire is 235 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 65 percent of that (about 6.0 inches tall), and it mounts on a 18-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 30 inches. Every replacement has to match all three numbers, and the load index and speed rating on the placard inside the driver's door have to be met or exceeded.
In this size our picks are marked 106V on the Milestar MS932 Sport and Goodyear Assurance MaxLife 2 (2,094 lb per tire, rated to 149 mph) and 106T on the General AltiMAX RT45 (2,094 lb per tire, rated to 118 mph). The first number is the load index, the letter the speed rating; a tire with equal or higher values than your placard is fine, a lower one is not.
Our guide on reading a tire size walks through the markings, and this one lists every load index and speed code.
Our three picks, side by side
One tire at each price level from what the retailer stocks in this size, with the mileage warranty and UTQG grades as published by the manufacturers and their retailers. Treadwear is the number to compare: it is a relative wear rate, so 700 should last roughly twice as long as 350 on the same car.

Milestar MS932 Sport, $132.99. A low-priced all-season with a full specification: in this size a 106V with 10/32 inch of tread, graded 540 A A and warranted for 60,000 miles.
General AltiMAX RT45, $194.99. General's long-life all-season, with 75,000 miles of warranty for T-rated sizes and a 700 A B grade. At 29 pounds it is the lightest of the three. Check that your placard allows a T speed rating.
Goodyear Assurance MaxLife, $208.96. In this size the retailer stocks the MaxLife 2, which Goodyear calls its longest-lasting tire: 12/32 inch of tread, an 820 A B grade and an 85,000-mile warranty. It is the heaviest pick at 34.4 pounds, and our choice for a Highlander or RX that racks up miles.

The same tires in neighboring sizes
The Milestar MS932 Sport, our budget pick here at $132.99, is also stocked in 255/60R18 ($154.99), 235/50R19 ($156.95), 225/40R18 ($90.99) and 225/50R18 ($94.96).

Useful if your vehicle came with a different wheel package, or if you are comparing an upsize: the same tire usually costs more per inch of wheel, not per inch of rubber. Prices per tire, from the retailer's feed Nov 13, 2026.
Winter on an SUV in this size
Most SUVs in this size are all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, which is enough to satisfy Colorado's Passenger Vehicle Traction Law on the 126 miles of I-70 between Dotsero and Morrison, in force from September 1 to May 31, as long as the tires have at least 3/16 inch of tread. A two-wheel-drive version must instead be on tires marked M+S, 3PMSF or rated all-weather by the manufacturer. Fines start at $130. Four driven wheels help you pull away, not stop: a heavy SUV on worn all-seasons needs much more road to brake on snow than the same vehicle on a tire with the 3PMSF symbol, so in the snow belt choose the tire, not just the drivetrain.
None of our picks in this size, the General AltiMAX RT45, carries the 3PMSF symbol; for that, look at the all-weather and winter tires.

Which type of 235/65R18 tire?
Frequently asked questions
How much do 235/65R18 tires cost?
Expect $100–$133 per tire for a budget brand, $133–$199 for a mid-range tire like the General AltiMAX RT45, and $199–$265 for a premium tire like the Goodyear Assurance MaxLife 2. A set of four therefore starts at about $400. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use 235/65R18 tires?
235/65R18 is original equipment on Toyota Highlander (2020-2024, L/LE/XLE), Lexus RX (2016-2022, base), Nissan Pathfinder (2013-2020, S/SV), Nissan Murano (2009-2014, base), Chevrolet Blazer (2019-2024, L/LT), Chevrolet Equinox (2005-2009, upsize) and Cadillac XT5 (2017-2024, base 18 in), among others. Always confirm with the sticker inside your driver's door, because trim levels and wheel packages can change the size.
What is the best 235/65R18 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the General AltiMAX RT45, is the sweet spot of price and tread life. If you keep the vehicle a long time or drive in heavy rain and snow, the Goodyear Assurance MaxLife 2 is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Milestar MS932 Sport is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 235/65R18 tires?
On a front- or rear-wheel-drive car, yes: replace in pairs on the same axle and put the newer pair on the rear. On all-wheel-drive vehicles most makers want all four replaced together, or a new tire shaved to match, because a difference in circumference strains the drivetrain.
