The Genesis G80 is Hyundai Motor Group's highest-tier luxury sedan — a direct competitor to the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes E-Class. The third-generation G80 (2021 to present) is a genuinely refined car that rewards the right tire choice. Buyers split between touring comfort and sport character, and the tire market serves both.
Genesis G80 tire sizes
The third-generation G80 (2021 to present) uses a staggered fitment: 245/45R19 front / 275/40R19 rear on the 19-inch wheel (2.5T Advanced, 2.5T/3.5T Sport), and 245/40R20 front / 275/35R20 rear on the 20-inch Sport Prestige wheel. The base 2.5T rides on a square 245/50R18. Always verify on the driver door sticker.
The G80 Electrified, which uses an electric powertrain, runs the same staggered 19- or 20-inch fitments as the gas car depending on build, and benefits from tires with low rolling resistance. Look for tires marked with the EV symbol or those on Hyundai/Genesis approved EV fitment lists.
Best all-season tires for the Genesis G80
Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4: the top pick for G80 owners on 19 or 20-inch wheels who want sport response with all-weather capability. Available in 245/45R19 and 245/40R20. Excellent wet braking, very low road noise, and treadwear ratings around 500.
Continental PureContact LS: the quietest all-season in G80 fitments. Best for buyers who prioritize the G80 touring character over sport grip. Very smooth ride on rough pavement with strong wet weather performance.
Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus: Pirelli touring all-season with strong wet performance and a comfort-first ride. A good pick for G80 owners who want Pirelli brand feel at a touring price point.
Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack: excellent noise suppression for the G80 owner who spends most time on highway. Smooth, quiet ride with solid all-weather scores in 245/45R19.

Frequently asked
What tire size does the Genesis G80 use?
Third-gen G80 (2021 to present) with 19-inch wheels: 245/45R19 front / 275/40R19 rear. With 20-inch sport wheels: 245/40R20 front / 275/35R20 rear. G80 Electrified uses the same staggered 19- or 20-inch sizing depending on build. Always verify on the driver door sticker.
How much do Genesis G80 tires cost?
245/45R19: $145 to $200 per tire. 245/40R20: $175 to $250 per tire. A full set of four in 245/45R19 installed runs $580 to $800 at a West Georgia shop.
Does the Genesis G80 AWD require matched tires?
Yes. Like other AWD vehicles, the G80 AWD system works best with all four tires matched in brand, model, and tread depth. Replace in pairs at minimum, and all four when tread depth differences reach approximately 2/32 inch.
Should I match all four tires on an AWD Genesis G80?
Yes. The G80's all-wheel-drive system works best with all four tires matched in brand, model, and tread depth, so replace in pairs at a minimum and go with a full set when the depth gap gets noticeable. A local shop can measure your current tread and tell you whether pairing or a full set is the smarter buy.
Are quieter tires worth it on a Genesis G80?
For a luxury sedan like the G80, usually yes. The cabin is tuned to be quiet, so a loud budget tire stands out and undercuts the whole feel of the car. A comfort-focused touring tire keeps the ride hushed and still handles our West Georgia weather well.
