Specifications
IMPERIAL All season driver
IMPERIAL All season driver 215/40R18 89Y XL — quality All season tyre from IMPERIAL. Reliable grip, stability and durability for everyday driving across all conditions.
How fuel-efficient is this tyre?
Below average. The IMPERIAL All season driver is rated D, under the middle of the scale. Rolling resistance runs a little higher, so fuel use creeps up slightly. Usually that's the trade-off for stronger grip or longer tread life.
How well does this tyre grip in the wet?
Strong. The IMPERIAL All season driver carries a B rating, one step below the top. Wet braking is still short and dependable — the difference from a class A tyre is small and only really shows up in hard braking on soaked roads. For everyday driving in mixed weather it's plenty.
How much road noise does this tyre make?
Average. The IMPERIAL All season driver measures 71 dB, a typical figure for a modern car tyre. Road noise is there on coarse surfaces but stays within normal, comfortable bounds.
Are these tyres reinforced?
Yes. The IMPERIAL All season driver carries the XL (Extra Load) marking, which means a stronger casing that takes higher pressures and carries more weight than a standard tyre of the same size. That suits heavier cars, fully loaded driving, vans, and EVs, which run heavier because of their battery packs. To get the full benefit, set the higher pressure the XL rating allows.
Are these tyres certified for snow?
Yes. The IMPERIAL All season driver carries the 3PMSF mark — the three-peak mountain snowflake — which a tyre only gets after passing an official snow-braking test. It counts as a proper winter tyre in countries where winter tyres are required by law, and it's a real measure of snow performance, not just the softer M+S label that makes no promise about grip.
IMPERIAL is a mid-range class manufacturer offering solid-quality tyres with a good balance of price and durability.
