All-season high-performance tyre
The Royal Black Racing Trac 235/40R18 95W XL is built for passenger cars that need year-round grip and responsive handling. Its all-season compound and M+S rating suit wet, dry and light snow conditions without a seasonal swap. The W speed rating supports sustained driving up to 168 mph.
XL load range with black sidewall
Extra-load construction carries heavier vehicle loads at the 95 load index while the black side wall gives a clean, stealthy appearance. The 18-inch rim fitment and 25.4-inch overall diameter match many modern sedans and coupes without altering speedometer calibration. Run-flat technology is not included, so a spare or repair kit remains necessary.
Upgrade from standard touring tyres
Drivers moving from basic touring rubber gain sharper turn-in and shorter wet braking distances thanks to the high-performance tread design and UTQG 420AA ratings. The tread depth of 7/32 inch provides measurable wear life for daily commuting. Buyers who need dedicated winter traction or run-flat security should consider other categories.
