Everything to know about the 225/40R18 tire size

Size geometry

A 225/40R18 tire has a 225mm section width and a 40% aspect ratio, mounted on a 18-inch rim. Sidewall height works out to 90.0mm (3.54") and overall outside diameter is 637.2mm (25.09"). At highway speed the tire completes about 500 revolutions per kilometre — your speedometer and odometer were calibrated against this number.

Direct substitute sizes

If 225/40R18 is unavailable, the closest same-diameter substitutes on the same rim are 215/42R18 and 235/38R18. Both keep your speedometer reading within 1% — safe for daily use, ABS, and stability control. Always verify load and speed ratings before swapping.

Plus / minus sizing options

For a 225/40R18 you can upsize to 235/33R19 (plus-one) to fit a larger wheel without changing the speedometer reading, or downsize to 215/48R17 (minus-one) for a softer ride or winter setup. Both stay inside the Âą3% diameter tolerance that ABS and TPMS systems expect.
