About the 235/55R18 size
Crossover and large-sedan V/H size with 100 load index. Touring CUV tires are the norm; check for T on the Taurus.
The numbers mean: 235 mm section width, sidewall height 55 % of that width, and a 18-inch rim. Overall diameter works out to about 28.2 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 235/55R18 tires cost?
Expect $89–$115 per tire for a budget brand, $115–$192 for a mid-range tire like the Cooper Endeavor Plus, and $192–$264 for a premium tire like the Bridgestone Ecopia H/L 422 Plus. A set of four therefore starts at about $356. Add roughly $15 to $45 per tire for mounting and balancing.
What vehicles use 235/55R18 tires?
235/55R18 is original equipment on Ford Taurus (2010-2019, SE/SEL), Volkswagen Tiguan (2018-2024, SE), Kia Sorento (2016-2020, LX/EX 18 in), Hyundai Santa Fe Sport (2013-2018, 2.0T), Volvo XC60 (2018-2024, base 18 in), Volvo XC40 (2019-2024, 18 in) and Lincoln Corsair (2020-2024, 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 235/55R18 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 Bridgestone Ecopia H/L 422 Plus is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Milestar MS932 Sport is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 235/55R18 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.
