Best Tires for the Genesis G90

By the Rims & Tires Team

Compiled & reviewed by our West Georgia tire & wheel research team · Updated 2026-07-24

The Genesis G90 is Hyundai Motor Group's flagship luxury sedan — competing directly with the BMW 7 Series, Mercedes S-Class, and Lexus LS. Tire selection should prioritize the ultra-quiet, smooth ride that defines the G90 ownership experience.

Genesis G90 tire sizes

The current G90 3.5T uses 245/45R20 front / 275/40R20 rear (staggered) on 20-inch wheels. The 3.5T e-Supercharger uses 245/40R21 front / 275/35R21 rear on 21-inch wheels. (The previous-generation G90 with 3.3T/5.0 V8 engines used 245/45R19 front / 275/40R19 rear across all trims.) Verify on the driver door sticker.

Frequently asked

What tire size does the Genesis G90 use?

Current G90 3.5T (20-inch): 245/45R20 front, 275/40R20 rear. 3.5T e-Supercharger (21-inch): 245/40R21 front, 275/35R21 rear. Previous-gen G90 (19-inch): 245/45R19 front, 275/40R19 rear. Verify on the driver door sticker.

How much do Genesis G90 tires cost?

245/45R19: $170 to $280 per tire. 20-inch staggered sizes: $210 to $340 per tire. A full set on 19-inch installed runs $680 to $1,120.

Why does tire choice matter so much on a G90?

The whole appeal of this car is a silent, glass-smooth ride, and the tire is the first thing you feel and hear. A premium touring tire with a low noise rating preserves that, while a budget or aggressive tread undoes it fast. Whatever you choose, match the original load rating for a car this heavy. A shop can point you to the quietest option in your size.

Do the staggered trims mean I can't rotate my G90 tires?

On the trims with wider rear tires than front, no, they can't swap positions, so the rears usually wear faster. On the square, non-staggered fitments, normal rotation is fine and extends tread life. Check which setup you have, and a shop can confirm and set a rotation plan if yours allows it.

How do I know when my G90 needs new tires?

Watch tread depth, wet grip, and any new noise or harshness creeping into the normally quiet cabin. The quarter test is a fast home check. Because ride refinement is the point of this car, a set that's aged hard is worth replacing even with tread left.
