About the 225/45R18 size
V/W rated mid-size sport size. Mostly all-season UHP demand; BMW fitments are run-flat and staggered (255/40R18 rear).
The numbers mean: 225 mm section width, sidewall height 45 % of that width, and a 18-inch rim. Overall diameter works out to about 26 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.

What vehicles use 225/45R18 tires?
225/45R18 is original equipment on Toyota Camry (2015-2017, XSE), Toyota Avalon (2013-2018, Touring/Limited), Lexus ES (2013-2018, 18 in), Volkswagen Jetta GLI (2019-2024), Kia Optima (2011-2015, SX), Hyundai Sonata (2011-2014, Limited 2.0T), BMW 3 Series (2012-2018, sport line front), BMW 3 Series (2019-2024, base 18 in), Alfa Romeo Giulia (2017-2024, base 18 in) and Genesis G70 (2019-2024, 2.0T front), 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 225/45R18 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 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 Pirelli Cinturato P7 is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Kumho Ecsta PA51 is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 225/45R18 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.
