240/40-18 Motorcycle Tires

9 models in 240/40-18, from 5 brands we stock. Order online for delivery, or have them fitted at the shop in Orange.

What 240/40-18 means

240 is the section width in millimetres, measured across the tread. 40 is the aspect ratio: the sidewall is 40% of the section width, which works out to roughly 96 mm here. 18 is the rim diameter in inches — the wheel this tire mounts on.

On most motorcycles a 240/40-18 is a rear tire.

The sizes listed for each model are the sizes it is made in. Confirm against the size on your own bike before ordering — wheel swaps change fitment.
