The Armstrong TRU-TRAC AT II 265/60 R18 is a second-generation all-terrain tyre developed for SUVs, pickups and 4x4 vehicles approved for this tyre size. Its rugged block-pattern tread is designed to balance dependable mixed-terrain traction with stable and controlled performance on paved roads.
Rigid shoulder blocks reinforce the outer tread area and provide additional gripping edges during travel over rough roads, loose ground, gravel and moderately muddy surfaces. Their stable structure also supports steering and cornering control during regular road driving.
Engineered grooves of different widths separate the tread blocks while helping reduce repetitive tread-contact noise. This supports a more comfortable driving experience than would normally be expected from a heavily blocked all-terrain pattern.
Stable 18-Inch All-Terrain Performance
The 265 mm tread width provides a broad contact area for traction, braking and highway stability. Its 60-profile sidewall gives the tyre a more controlled and direct steering character than the taller 265/65 R17 alternative while retaining sufficient sidewall height for broken roads and moderate off-road use.
The 18-inch fitment is suitable for drivers who require all-terrain capability but spend a significant proportion of their driving time on paved roads. Its slightly lower sidewall can provide more immediate road response, although it offers less impact cushioning than the corresponding 17-inch size.
A reinforced sidewall provides additional protection against impacts, abrasion and lateral forces in the tyre's vulnerable sidewall area. The special rubber compound is developed to resist tearing and friction-related wear across changing road and terrain conditions.
The 265/60 R18 size should only be installed where approved by the vehicle manufacturer and where the tyre's load index, speed rating, rim width, overall diameter and suspension-clearance requirements are fully satisfied.
TRU-TRAC AT II Technology
Armstrong TRU-TRAC AT II Tread Technology
Second-generation all-terrain design. The TRU-TRAC AT II uses a distinctive block-pattern tread developed to provide traction across paved roads, damaged surfaces, loose ground and moderate off-road terrain.
Dynamic tread structure. The tread blocks are arranged to maintain useful gripping edges across changing surfaces while supporting predictable road behaviour during everyday driving.
Rigid shoulder blocks. Stable shoulder blocks reinforce the outer tread area, helping the tyre withstand impacts while supporting traction, steering response and cornering stability.
Engineered variable-width grooves. Grooves of different widths separate the tread blocks and help disrupt repetitive tread-contact frequencies. This reduces unnecessary pattern noise and supports a more comfortable road-driving experience.
Reinforced sidewall. The sidewall is reinforced to provide additional defence against impacts, abrasion and lateral forces in an area that can be vulnerable during rough-road and off-road driving.
Special tear-resistant compound. The rubber compound is developed to improve resistance to tearing and friction-related wear across paved roads, rough tracks and changing terrain conditions.
Mixed-surface traction. The block pattern and shoulder edges provide multiple gripping points for travel over loose gravel, damaged roads, dirt tracks and moderately muddy surfaces.
Road and off-road balance. The pattern is designed to deliver useful all-terrain capability while retaining a controlled and relatively comfortable character during regular city and highway driving.
Broad road-contact area. The tread structure supports stable contact during acceleration, braking, cornering and straight-line travel. Actual performance will also depend on tyre pressure, vehicle load, alignment and surface conditions.
Tread-wear indicators. Moulded tread-wear bars provide a visible reference as the tread approaches its replacement limit. The tyre should also be inspected regularly for cuts, cracking, bulges, punctures and irregular wear.

Understanding Tyre Size 265/60 R18 / How to Read Tyre Size
Vehicles with 265/60 R18 Tyre Size
What does 265/60 R18 mean?
265/60 R18 is the tyre size.
265 is the maximum width of the tyre in milimetres(mm). When the vehicle is fully loaded its width can expand maximum upto 265 milimetres(mm).
60 is the ratio among width and height of the tyre from its rim. it means that the height of the tyre is precisely 60% of the 265mm. Lower ratio improves road grip, but it reduces comfort to some extent.
R – refers to the method the tyre is produced. The letter “R” is found on all modern car tyres. It indicates the radial structure of tyre cosntructed with steel wires.
18 represents the diameter of the rim. It is a measurement in inches(“). This number should be rememberd as it is the measurement of the rims. It has to match exactly to what is mentioned in the car manual.
