Royal Black Racing Trac 235/50R18 tyre

The Royal Black Racing Trac is a high-performance all-season tyre sized 235/50R18 for SUVs and light trucks. It carries a load index of 101 and an XL load range for extra capacity. The speed rating W allows sustained speeds up to 168 mph. A UTQG grade of 420AA indicates strong traction and treadwear.

Suitable vehicles and limits

This tyre fits 18-inch rims on SUVs and light trucks needing a 235 mm section width and 50 aspect ratio. It serves drivers who want year-round grip with high-speed stability. Buyers needing a dedicated winter tyre for severe snow should look elsewhere. Vehicles requiring a different diameter, load index or speed rating cannot use this size.

Deciding specification — 235/50R18 101W XL

The sidewall marking 235/50R18 101W XL is the single specification that decides fitment. It defines the section width, aspect ratio, rim diameter, load index and speed rating in one code. Match this exact code to the vehicle placard or owner's manual. If any part of the code differs, the tyre will not fit correctly.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the Racing Trac 235/50R18 generate during extended highway driving?

The W speed rating certifies safe operation up to 168 mph, and the 420 UTQG treadwear compound resists heat buildup during long-distance running.

What wheel width must I already have for the 235/50R18 101W XL to mount correctly?

This tire fits 18-inch rims; the 235 mm section width requires a compatible wheel width within the manufacturer's approved range for that diameter.

Will the 27.3-inch overall diameter match the gearing and clearance of my existing 18-inch all-season set?

At 27.3 inches tall, the Racing Trac maintains the same rolling circumference as other 235/50R18 sizes, preserving speedometer accuracy and suspension geometry.
