How the blog is madePrices are those listed by Shaharyar Traders (3 branches, Lahore), the one dealer on CircleWheels; a listed price does not confirm stock. The catalogue holds sizes and prices only, with no load or speed ratings, tread data, test results or reviews. Confirm your size on your current tyres or the door-jamb placard before buying.
In 235/55R18, a set of four brand-only tyres starts at Rs 136,000 (Rs 34,000 a tyre). Stepping up to the Nexen NPRIZ RH7, N FERA SU1 or N FERA Supreme at Rs 45,000 costs Rs 11,000 more a tyre, or Rs 44,000 more for the set. These are Shaharyar Traders' prices, last updated on 3 June 2026.
The dealer's price list gives 53 of these tyres by brand and size only, with "China" written where a model name would be. CircleWheels calls them brand-only listings. They run from Rs 34,000 to Rs 38,500.
Rs 44,000 a set between brand-only and the first Nexen
In 235/55R18 the dealer lists 29 comparable tyres with a model name, from Rs 45,000 to Rs 81,000. The lowest price, Rs 45,000, is shared by three Nexen tyres. The next two price points are Rs 46,000 and Rs 47,000 a tyre.
| Tyre | Price per tyre | More than Rs 34,000 brand-only, per tyre | More per set of four |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nexen NPRIZ RH7 | Rs 45,000 | Rs 11,000 | Rs 44,000 |
| Nexen N FERA SU1 | Rs 45,000 | Rs 11,000 | Rs 44,000 |
| Nexen N FERA Supreme | Rs 45,000 | Rs 11,000 | Rs 44,000 |
| Kumho SOLUS KL21 | Rs 46,000 | Rs 12,000 | Rs 48,000 |
| Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 SUV (K127A) | Rs 47,000 | Rs 13,000 | Rs 52,000 |
Kumho SOLUS KL21 is one of three tyres at Rs 46,000. Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 SUV (K127A) is one of two at Rs 47,000.
The gap narrows at the top of the brand-only range. Evergreen and Westlake, both at Rs 38,500, sit Rs 6,500 a tyre below the Rs 45,000 Nexen tyres. Giti, at Rs 37,000, sits Rs 8,000 a tyre below them.
The brand-only route suits buyers who are happy to choose by brand and price alone. It does not suit a buyer who wants a particular model or tread pattern, because these listings carry neither. Buyers who want to pick the pattern themselves are looking at the Rs 45,000 tyres and up.
Three car pages that list 235/55R18
Three car pages on CircleWheels list 235/55R18 among their sizes. The size only matters if it is the one on your car. A driver whose car needs a different size should look at that size's own listings, because these prices and gaps do not carry across to another size.
Where the brand-only prices fall, brand by brand
Fifty of the 53 brands are listed at Rs 34,000, the lowest brand-only price in the size. A Gate, Anexing, APLUS, Black Arrow, Boto and Centara are among them, so a set of four from any of these comes to Rs 136,000.
Three brands sit above that line:
- Giti at Rs 37,000
- Evergreen at Rs 38,500
- Westlake at Rs 38,500
The dealer's "China" label is its own entry in the price list and does not describe where these brands come from. Other names in the Rs 34,000 group include Linglong, Sailun, Sumitomo, Double Coin and Road King. The 235/55R18 size page lists every brand along with its price.
With 50 brands at one price, the brand-only choice here comes down to the brand name rather than the rupees. The rupees start to differ only once you look at Giti, Evergreen and Westlake, or at the Nexen, Kumho and Hankook tyres above them. The size page sets both groups side by side.
