The Genesis G80 is Hyundai Motor Group 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 245/45R19 on the standard 19-inch wheel fitment and 245/40R20 on 20-inch sport wheels. The G80 Sport 3.5T may use slightly different sizing — always verify on the driver door sticker.
The G80 Electrified, which uses an electric powertrain, runs the same base tire sizes but 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.
Best summer tires for the G80 Sport and performance trims
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S — the benchmark summer tire for G80 Sport owners on 20-inch wheels. Exceptional dry grip and strong wet traction. If you want to explore what the G80 Sport chassis can do, this is the tire that removes the grip limitation.
Continental SportContact 7 — strong alternative to the Pilot Sport 4S in 245/40R20. Competes closely with the Michelin in independent test comparisons. Choose based on pricing and availability at your local shop.
