About the 245/45R18 size
Large-sedan V/W size with 100 load index. Grand-touring all-seasons dominate; German fitments may need run-flat or OE-marked tires.
The numbers mean: 245 mm section width, sidewall height 45 % of that width, and a 18-inch rim. Overall diameter works out to about 26.7 inches. Any replacement has to match all three, and the load index and speed rating on your door sticker must be met or exceeded. Our guide on reading a tire size walks through it.

What is the best 245/45R18 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus, is the sweet spot of price and tread life. If you keep the vehicle a long time or drive in heavy rain and snow, the Continental ProContact TX is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Milestar MS932 Sport is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 245/45R18 tires?
On a front- or rear-wheel-drive car, yes: replace in pairs on the same axle and put the newer pair on the rear. On all-wheel-drive vehicles most makers want all four replaced together, or a new tire shaved to match, because a difference in circumference strains the drivetrain.
