A good fit if you

- Drivers who already run a dedicated winter set for Quebec’s cold months.
- Factory fitments or vehicles that specifically require XL-rated tires.
Think twice if you need

Quick Specs
- Size: 215/40R18
- Brand / Model: Nitto Neo Gen – Performance
- Season: All Season
- Vehicle Type: Passenger
- Load / Speed: 89W (Load index 89 supports up to 580 kg per tire; speed rating W rated up to 270 km/h)

215/40R18 Nitto Neo Gen – Performance
XL (Extra Load) — built to handle higher inflation pressures and heavier loads than a standard-load tire of the same size.
What these tire specs mean
- Load index 89 means each tire can carry up to 580 kg. Check your door jamb placard — the tire needs to meet or beat the load rating your manufacturer specifies.
- Speed rating W is the maximum sustained speed this tire is designed to handle under proper conditions. That works out to 270 km/h under correct load and inflation — not a target, just the rated ceiling.
- UTQG 280 AA A is a manufacturer-assigned grade for treadwear, traction, and temperature performance. Useful for comparing within the same brand — but it’s not a mileage guarantee, and ratings aren’t standardized across manufacturers.
- All Season tires handle mild year-round conditions well, but they’re not winter tires. In Quebec, a standard all-season doesn’t satisfy the mandatory winter tire requirement unless it specifically carries the 3PMS symbol.
- XL means Extra Load. These tires run at higher inflation pressures and handle more weight than a standard-load tire of the same size. If your vehicle’s factory spec calls for XL, that’s what you need — swapping to standard load can affect ride, handling, and safety.
- Vehicle type indicates the service category this tire is built for — passenger car, light truck, commercial, or other. Matching the right category matters for load capacity, handling, and safety.

Common questions — 215/40R18 Nitto Neo Gen – Performance All Season
What does the 215/40R18 tire size mean?
Break it down and 215/40R18 tells you three things: the tread is 215 mm wide, the sidewall stands at 40% of that — about 86 mm of rubber between road and rim — and it fits a 18-inch wheel. You’ll find this size most often on sport sedans and coupes.
Is the 215/40R18 Nitto Neo Gen – Performance an All Season tire?
Yes — the 215/40R18 Nitto Neo Gen – Performance is categorized as an All Season tire. Standard all-season tires handle mild year-round conditions but don’t meet Quebec’s mandatory winter tire requirement on their own. If you drive in Quebec between December and March, look at a dedicated winter or all-weather tire that carries the 3PMS symbol.
What does the 89W rating mean on the 215/40R18 Nitto Neo Gen – Performance?
The 89W on the Nitto Neo Gen – Performance breaks into two numbers: load index 89, meaning each tire carries up to 580 kg, rated to approximately 270 km/h; and speed rating W, rated to 270 km/h under proper load and inflation. Your door jamb placard lists the minimum ratings your vehicle requires — match or exceed both.
Is the 215/40R18 Nitto Neo Gen – Performance 3PMS rated?
No — the Nitto Neo Gen – Performance doesn’t carry the 3PMS symbol. If Quebec winter compliance or severe snow traction is a priority, you’d want a tire that does.
Is the 215/40R18 Nitto Neo Gen – Performance studdable?
Studdable status is not confirmed for this tire. Reach out and we’ll check the manufacturer specs for you.
Does the 215/40R18 Nitto Neo Gen – Performance support run flat driving?
No — the Nitto Neo Gen – Performance is a standard tire, not a run flat. If your vehicle came equipped with run flats, your replacement set needs to be run flat-capable too.
Is the 215/40R18 Nitto Neo Gen – Performance an XL (extra load) tire?
Yes — the Nitto Neo Gen – Performance is XL rated. It’s designed for higher inflation pressures and greater load capacity than a standard-load tire of the same size. If your current tires are XL, your replacement should be too.
What does speed rating W mean on the 215/40R18 Nitto Neo Gen – Performance?
Speed rating W on the Nitto Neo Gen – Performance corresponds to a maximum sustained speed of 270 km/h under proper load and inflation. In practice, this tells you the performance category the tire is built for — not a number to chase on public roads.
