Royal Black Racing Trac 255/55R18
The Royal Black Racing Trac is a high-performance all-season tire built for light trucks, vans and SUVs. It carries a 109 load index and a W speed rating for sustained speeds up to 168 mph. The XL load range supports heavier vehicle weights.
Black sidewall construction and 29-inch diameter
The tire features a black sidewall and mounts on an 18-inch rim with a 255 mm section width. A 4-ply rating and UTQG 420AA grading indicate a balance of treadwear, traction and temperature resistance. The 7/32 inch tread depth is ready for daily driving.
All-season compound limits in extreme conditions
The all-season tread compound handles wet and dry roads but is not a dedicated winter tire. Performance drops on packed snow or ice compared to a severe snow-rated product. Drivers who face harsh winters should consider a separate winter set.

Questions about this item
What speed does the W rating on this 255/55R18 tire allow?
The W speed rating certifies this tire for sustained driving up to 168 mph when correctly inflated and loaded.
What rim diameter and load rating does this 255/55R18 tire require?
It fits an 18-inch rim and carries an XL load range with a load index of 109 for heavier SUV and truck duty.
How do I install this tire so the rotation direction is correct?
Mount the tire with the sidewall arrows pointing forward; reversing them reduces wet grip and wears the 7/32-inch tread unevenly.
