Royal Black Racing Trac All-Season Tyre
The Royal Black Racing Trac is a high-performance all-season tyre built for passenger cars. It fits an 18-inch rim and carries a 255/40R18 size designation. The tyre is rated for speeds up to 168 mph with a load index of 99 and an XL load range. A UTQG rating of 420AA indicates strong treadwear and traction credentials.
Suited for performance sedans needing year-round
Drivers of family sedans or sporty coupes who want confident wet and dry handling in a single tyre will appreciate the balanced all-season compound. Buyers who need dedicated winter traction for severe snow and ice should look at a specialist winter tyre instead. The non-run-flat construction also means vehicles requiring run-flat fitment must choose an alternative.
Consistent contact patch under sustained cornering
The 7/32-inch tread depth and asymmetric pattern help maintain a stable footprint during extended high-speed driving. UTQG 420 treadwear suggests the compound resists heat buildup over long motorway stints. Reinforced XL sidewalls limit flex when the tyre is loaded near its 99 index limit. Traction rating A supports reliable braking even as surface temperatures rise.

Questions about this item
What wheel diameter do I need for the 255/40R18 size?
These tyres fit an 18 inch rim; the overall diameter is 26 inches, so confirm your wheels are 18 inch before ordering.
Can I mix these W-rated all-season tyres with lower speed-rated tyres on the same axle?
The speed rating is W (168 mph); mixing different speed ratings on one axle is not recommended because handling and stability can be affected.
How do I verify the tyres are performing correctly after installation?
Check that the sidewall shows 255/40R18 99W XL, confirm pressure matches the vehicle placard, and monitor tread wear against the 420 UTQG rating and 7/32 inch starting depth.
