Ford XR6 245/40R18 Winrun R330 Tyres and Wheel Alignment in Magill
A Ford XR6 came through the workshop for a fresh tyre fitment and four-wheel alignment using 245/40R18 Winrun R330 tyres. For Falcon and XR6 owners, this is a common performance sedan size, especially on 18 inch wheel packages where the car needs a stable footprint, predictable steering and even wear across a heavier rear-wheel-drive chassis.

Quick answer
For a Ford XR6 running 245/40R18, the Winrun R330 97W is a value-focused replacement tyre option. The final choice should still be confirmed against the vehicle tyre placard, current wheel size, load index, speed rating and the way the car is driven around Adelaide.
Why 245/40R18 matters on an XR6
The XR6 is heavier and more powerful than a small commuter, so the tyre is doing real work under braking, cornering and acceleration. A 245 section width gives a broad contact patch, while the 40 profile keeps steering response sharper than a taller sidewall. On Magill Road, the Adelaide Hills run, and rougher suburban roads, correct pressure and alignment become just as important as the tyre itself.
Why alignment was part of the job
When new tyres are fitted to a Ford XR6, a four-wheel alignment helps protect the investment. Rear-wheel-drive Falcons can chew edges if toe and camber are out, especially after suspension wear, pothole hits or previous uneven tyre wear. Alignment checks help the car track straight, reduce steering pull and support more even tread wear.
What we check before fitting
We confirm the old tyre size, load and speed rating, wheel condition, tyre wear pattern, valve condition and balance requirement. On modified or lowered XR6 sedans, we also check clearance because aggressive wheels, low ride height or worn bushes can change how the tyre sits under load.
