About the 255/60R18 size
Wide three-row crossover size, H or V rated, 112 load index. Newer fitment (2023+ Pilot) so choice is growing fast.
The numbers mean: 255 mm section width, sidewall height 60 % of that width, and a 18-inch rim. Overall diameter works out to about 30 inches. Any replacement has to match all three, and the load index and speed rating on your door sticker must be met or exceeded. Our guide on reading a tire size walks through it.

Frequently asked questions
How much do 255/60R18 tires cost?
Expect $115–$152 per tire for a budget brand, $156–$212 for a mid-range tire like the Cooper Endeavor Plus, and $216–$300 for a premium tire like the Michelin CrossClimate2. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use 255/60R18 tires?
255/60R18 is original equipment on Honda Pilot (2023-2024, LX/Sport), Mazda CX-9 (2016-2024, Sport/Touring) and Nissan Pathfinder (2022-2024, S/SV), 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 255/60R18 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Cooper Endeavor Plus, 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 Michelin CrossClimate2 is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Ironman iMove Gen 2 AS is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 255/60R18 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.
