About the 295/30R18 size
Very wide, very short 18 in front tire, essentially Viper-only. Only a handful of models are made in it, so order early and expect to buy in pairs.
The numbers mean: 295 mm section width, sidewall height 30 % of that width, and a 18-inch rim. Overall diameter works out to about 25 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 295/30R18 tire?
For most drivers our mid-range pick, the Pirelli P Zero, 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 Michelin Pilot Super Sport is worth the extra. On a tight budget the Nitto NT555 G2 is a sound choice.
Can I replace just one or two 295/30R18 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.
