The Dodge Journey was discontinued in 2020 but remains extremely common on Georgia roads — it was one of the most popular affordable family crossovers for over a decade. It uses affordable, widely available tire sizes. Replacement tires should prioritize value, all-season capability, and long wear.
Dodge Journey tire sizes
The Journey SE and SXT use 225/65R17 on 17-inch wheels. The Journey Crossroad, GT, and R/T use 225/55R19 on 19-inch wheels. Verify on the driver door sticker.

Choosing tires for an older Journey on a budget
Most Journeys on the road now are older family haulers, and the smart move is matching your tire spend to the car. A mid-tier all-season is the value sweet spot: it costs a little more than the cheapest option but stretches out replacements and stops noticeably better in the rain. Rock-bottom tires can make sense on a car you're about to move on from, but for anything you plan to keep, they usually cost you back in shorter life.
The Journey runs common, widely stocked sizes, so you've got plenty of options and prices stay reasonable. West Georgia's hard summer rain makes wet braking the spec that matters most for a family crossover. If you're not sure how much tire this car is worth, a local shop can lay out a couple of tiers and give you an honest out-the-door number.
Frequently asked
What tire size does the Dodge Journey use?
SE/SXT (17-inch): 225/65R17. Crossroad/GT/R/T (19-inch): 225/55R19. Verify on the driver door sticker.
How much do Dodge Journey tires cost?
225/65R17: $90 to $155 per tire. 225/55R19: $115 to $180 per tire. A full set on 17-inch installed runs $360 to $620.
How do I know when my Journey needs new tires?
Do the penny test — Lincoln's head showing means it's time. On an older Journey, also check the age stamped on the sidewall, since tires can time out before the tread does. Watch for cracking, uneven wear, and the crossover slipping in the rain. If anything looks off, have a shop take a quick look before a wet drive.
Are budget tires okay for a Dodge Journey?
For a Journey, a good budget-brand all-season is a perfectly sensible choice — this is an affordable family crossover, and names like General or Falken give you safe wet grip and a solid warranty without premium pricing. What to avoid is the no-name imports with no ratings or dealer support. A mid-tier tire is often only a little more and lasts longer.
