What are the best tires for an Acura RL?

My mechanic told me my tires are going to need to be replaced soon, but I’m not sure what to get when that time comes. What are the best tires for an Acura RL?

The best tires for your
Acura RL
will depend. Let’s start with the standard tire size; for an 2012 Acura RL this is P245/45R18.
The “P” here means the tire for passenger vehicles, and “245” means the tire is 245 millimeters wide. The “45” means the tire’s height is 45% of its width. The “R” means the tire’s inner layers are lain radially, and the “18” refers to its 18-inch diameter.
When it comes to tire types, here are some options to consider for your Acura RL:
  • All-season car tires: Designed to provide reliable traction and handling and more ride comfort year-round
  • Winter/snow car tires: Designed to have better traction on snow and ice.
  • Performance all-season car tires: Usually have better grip and a higher speed rating than typical all-season tires
  • Ultra-high performance (UHP) car tires: Can help improve traction and overall handling. However, the tread on UHP tires can wear faster than some all-season tires.
You should also pay attention to a tire’s speed rating and load index and ensure they’ll be compatible with your Acura RL.
