Landsail 245/40 R18 97W LS588 UHP 2024

Low-Profile Road Tyre

The Landsail LS588 UHP 245/40 R18 is a wide, low-profile tyre for passenger cars designed to use this exact 18-inch fitment. Its 245 mm tread creates a planted road feel, while the short 40-profile sidewall responds quickly to steering inputs. This setup favours control on smooth roads but provides less cushioning over potholes and broken asphalt.

Product Information

The sidewall height is 40% of the tyre’s 245 mm width. This limits sidewall movement during cornering and gives the steering a more immediate response than a taller touring tyre. Its 97 load index supports up to 730 kg per tyre under specified conditions. The UHP designation and W rating do not guarantee specialist track performance or maximum wet grip.

Vehicle Suitability

This size may suit selected executive saloons, sporty hatchbacks, estate cars and coupes using an approved 18-inch wheel package. It can also appear in staggered setups, where the rear tyres are wider than those fitted at the front. Each axle should therefore be checked separately before ordering.

Confirm these details:

• The complete 245/40 R18 size
• A minimum load index of 97
• The required speed rating
• Whether the vehicle uses staggered fitment

Real-World Behaviour

On smooth paved roads, the LS588 UHP feels direct during lane changes and remains composed through gradual bends. Its wide footprint can provide a stable motorway sensation, although steering may feel heavier at parking speeds than it would with a narrower manufacturer-approved tyre.

The main compromise is ride comfort. The short sidewall has less ability to absorb sharp road impacts and offers limited protection for the wheel when crossing deep potholes. Drivers who regularly use damaged roads or prioritise a soft ride may be better served by a taller approved tyre.

Wet braking and cornering depend on tread depth, inflation pressure, road contamination and speed. Wider tyres may also react more noticeably to standing water and longitudinal road grooves. Incorrect alignment can cause rapid inner-edge wear, so the entire tread width should be inspected rather than only the visible outer shoulder.

Ordering and Installation

Customers purchasing through dwbtyres.ae should verify the physical production-date code, available quantity and whether installation includes balancing and valve replacement. The fitter should inspect the wheels for damage and check alignment if the previous tyres developed uneven wear or vibration.

Correct Purchase

Drivers looking to buy tyres in UAE should select the LS588 UHP only when 245/40 R18 97W is approved for their vehicle. Anyone preparing to buy car tyres in UAE should confirm both axle sizes and the correct wheel width, especially when the car uses a staggered setup.
