What are the best tires for an Acura RDX?

My wheels’ tire tread is starting to wear down, so it’s about time they get replaced. I’m not sure what to look for, though. What are the best tires for an Acura RDX?

The best tires for your
Acura RDX
will depend on many factors, but let’s look at a tire size example first. The tire size of a standard 2015 Acura RDX is P235/60R18.
  • The P means the tire is for passenger vehicles.
  • The 235 means the tire is 235 millimeters wide.
  • The 60 means the tire’s height is 60% of its width.
  • The R means the tire’s inner layers lie radially.
  • The 18 refers to its 18-inch diameter.
Pay attention to a tire’s speed rating and load index to make sure they’ll be compatible with your Acura RDX.
When it comes to tire types, here are some to consider for your Acura RDX:
  • All-season SUV tires: A happy medium between car and truck tires, all-season tires designed for SUVs tend to have better traction and a higher load capacity than typical all-season tires for cars. These tend to be a solid option for reliable handling throughout all four seasons.
  • Winter/snow SUV tires: You can swap your summer tires for these as fall and winter move in to prepare for snowy and icy conditions.
  • Ultra-high performance (UHP) tires: These tires can help improve traction and overall handling. Some are year-round, while others are for warm seasons. However, the tread on UHP tires can wear faster than some all-season tires.
