245/60R18 tires

245/60R18 is the three-row crossover size: the Toyota Highlander from 2014 to 2019, the Honda Pilot from 2016 to 2022 along with the Ridgeline pickup and Passport, the Kia Telluride and Hyundai Palisade in their base trims, the Subaru Ascent and the 2011 to 2019 Ford Explorer. These are 4,300 to 4,700-pound family vehicles that are often loaded to the roof. Below are real prices for 241 tires in stock, three picks with the specifications behind them, and why tread life is the number to chase in this size.

What 245/60R18 tires cost

Prices are per tire, before mounting and balancing. A set of four in the mid range comes to roughly $556 to $828, and a brand rebate can take another $50 to $110 off, see this month's deals.

Heavy vehicles that live on the highway

Everything on this list is a family hauler: seven or eight seats, a long wheelbase and a lot of highway miles between school runs. The placard typically asks for a 105 load index and an H or T speed rating, and the tires stocked in this size are mostly highway all-seasons and crossover touring tires built for exactly that duty. Grip at the limit matters less than quiet, wet braking with a full load, and how many miles the tread lasts under a heavy front end.

That weight is also why owners in this size report wearing out tires faster than the warranty suggests. A 70,000-mile warranty on a Highlander or Pilot that is driven loaded and rotated irregularly often turns into 45,000 real miles. The UTQG treadwear grade on the sidewall is the better comparison between two candidates, and a rotation every oil change is the least expensive tire you will ever buy.

Ridgeline and Passport, Telluride and Palisade

The Honda Ridgeline is the one pickup on this list, and it is a pickup on a crossover platform: it uses the same 245/60R18 as the Pilot, with the same load index, and the same touring tires suit it unless you load the bed heavily or tow near its limit. Then an SUV highway tire with a stiffer casing is the better choice. The Telluride and Palisade in LX, S, SE and SEL trim use this size; the higher trims move to 20-inch wheels and a lower-profile tire, which is one reason the base trims ride more softly.

All of these vehicles are available with all-wheel drive, and on those the four tires should be replaced together or matched in tread depth. Carry the spare in mind as well: several have a compact spare that is only meant to get you to a shop, so a tire with a road-hazard warranty has real value on a vehicle that is often far from home.

What the numbers on the sidewall mean

A 245/60R18 tire is 245 millimeters wide, its sidewall is 60 percent of that (about 5.8 inches tall), and it mounts on a 18-inch wheel. That works out to an overall diameter of roughly 29.6 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 105V on the Milestar Weatherguard AS710 Sport and Nexen Roadian GTX (2,039 lb per tire, rated to 149 mph) and 105H on the Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport AS (2,039 lb per tire, rated to 130 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 Weatherguard AS710 Sport, $164.99. Our budget pick: the lowest-priced tire in this size with a specification sheet we could actually check. An all-season tire with a 70,000-mile tread life warranty (70,000 mi for H, V and W speed ratings; 80,000 mi for T). The manufacturer does not publish a UTQG grade for this model, so compare on warranty and tread depth instead. Extras: 30-day ride guarantee, road hazard program. A set of four comes to $659.96 before mounting.

Nexen Roadian GTX, $202. The mid-range pick, and the default for most drivers of the vehicles listed on this page. An all-season, low rolling resistance tire with a 70,000-mile tread life warranty. The published UTQG grade is 680 A A in a representative size: a treadwear number of 680 puts it among the longest-wearing tires in this size. Extras: Total Coverage Warranty with 2-year road hazard. A set of four comes to $808 before mounting.

Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport AS, $230.99. The premium pick, for the owner who keeps the vehicle a long time and drives it a lot. An all-season tire with a 40,000-mile tread life warranty. The published UTQG grade is 500 A A in a representative size: a treadwear number of 500 is typical for this type of tire. It does not carry the 3PMSF symbol; in the snow belt treat it as a three-season tire or look at the all-weather options. A set of four comes to $923.96 before mounting.

What 245/60R18 tires cost across the whole range

Of the 291 tires listed in this size, 241 are in stock today. The lowest price is the Lionhart Lionclaw HT at $99.96, a 105H tire. The median is $175.24; a third of the tires cost $138.96 or less, and the top five percent start above $261.48. Those are per-tire prices before mounting and balancing, which adds $15 to $45 per tire at most shops, read from the retailer's feed Nov 13, 2026.

The same tires in neighboring sizes

The Milestar Weatherguard AS710 Sport, our budget pick here at $164.99, is also stocked in 235/70R16 ($120.96), 255/50R20 ($188.95), 235/55R20 ($185.95) and 215/50R17 ($122.99). The Nexen Roadian GTX, our mid-range pick here at $202, is also stocked in 255/60R18 ($238) and 255/55R18 ($217). 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 Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport AS, carries the 3PMSF symbol; for that, look at the all-weather and winter tires.

Frequently asked questions

How much do 245/60R18 tires cost?

Expect $100–$139 per tire for a budget brand, $139–$207 for a mid-range tire like the Nexen Roadian GTX, and $207–$261 for a premium tire like the Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport AS. A set of four therefore starts at about $400. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.

What vehicles use 245/60R18 tires?

245/60R18 is original equipment on Toyota Highlander (2014-2019, LE/XLE), Honda Pilot (2016-2022), Honda Ridgeline (2017-2024), Honda Passport (2019-2024, Sport/EX-L), Kia Telluride (2020-2024, LX/S), Hyundai Palisade (2020-2024, SE/SEL), Subaru Ascent (2019-2024, base/Premium) and Ford Explorer (2011-2019, base/XLT), 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 245/60R18 tire?

For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Nexen Roadian GTX, 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 Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport AS is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Milestar Weatherguard AS710 Sport is a sound choice.

Can I replace just one or two 245/60R18 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.
