The RP218 is designed to provide an outstanding driving experience at a remarkable value, no matter where the road takes you. With its modern all-season touring tread design, the RP218 delivers reliable performance and a smooth, comfortable ride you can trust year-round. Wide circumferential grooves aid in reducing hydroplaning while improving overall control and the RP218’s lateral and angled grooves evacuate water to increase wet traction. The RP218 uses angled notches to provide additional traction and to improve the overall tread life, while the angled variable depth siping delivers enhanced handling and traction.
