Tireco Launches Westlake Foray RP218

March 18, 2025

Tireco Inc. has launched its new Westlake Foray RP218, designed to replace the RP18 and select sizes of other Westlake treads.  

 The new touring tire features enhancements focused on all-season performance, ride comfort and tread life.  

Other key features of the Westlake Foray RP218 is its optimized tread pattern for grip in wet and dry conditions; variable pitch technology to minimize road noise; reinforced sidewalls and an upgraded internal structure for better wear resistance and longer tread life; and more.  

The new tire is available in 13- and 19-inch broad range of sizes to fit most passenger cars and CUVs.  

“The RP218 is a significant evolution from its predecessor, delivering notable improvements in performance and comfort,” says Mike Park, assistant director of marketing at Tireco.  

“We’re confident that both dealers and consumers will appreciate the enhanced capabilities of this new model.”
