The Genesis GV70 has become one of the most acclaimed luxury compact SUVs since its 2022 launch — praised for a dynamic drive that punches above its class. That driving character means the tire conversation for the GV70 leans sport-forward relative to more comfort-biased competitors like the RDX or Q5.
Genesis GV70 tire sizes
The GV70 (2022 to present) uses 225/60R18 on the base 2.5T's 18-inch wheels, 235/55R19 on the 2.5T Advanced/Select and 3.5T Sport/Sport Advanced trims, and 255/40R21 on the top Sport Prestige trim (both 2.5T and 3.5T). The Electrified GV70 uses 265/45R20.
Verify your exact size on the driver door sticker before purchasing. The GV70 is AWD standard across all trims.
Best all-season tires for the Genesis GV70
Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 — the top pick for GV70 owners who want sport response with all-weather confidence. Strong dry and wet grip, low road noise, and the right character for the GV70 driving dynamics.
Continental CrossContact LX25 — the quietest option in GV70 fitments. Best for owners who want to maximize ride comfort and refinement on highway. Excellent wet weather performance and 70,000-mile treadwear warranty.
Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Plus II — Pirelli premium SUV all-season available in GV70 sizes. Competitive wet braking and a broad availability at tire shops. A solid choice at a comparable price to the Continental.

Frequently asked
What tire size does the Genesis GV70 use?
GV70 with 19-inch wheels (2.5T Advanced/Select, 3.5T Sport/Sport Advanced): 235/55R19. GV70 Sport Prestige with 21-inch wheels: 255/40R21. Verify on the driver door sticker.
How much do Genesis GV70 tires cost?
235/55R19: $145 to $210 per tire. 255/40R21 (Sport Prestige): $190 to $280 per tire. A full set of four in 235/55R19 installed runs $580 to $840 at a West Georgia shop.
Does the GV70 AWD need all four tires matched?
Yes. All GV70 models are AWD. All four tires should match in brand, model, and tread depth. Running mismatched tires on an AWD system causes uneven torque distribution and can stress the drivetrain over time.
How do I know when my GV70 needs new tires?
Check the tread with a quarter and watch for the ride getting noisier or the wet grip feeling vague, which often shows up before the tread hits the wear bars. Because the GV70 is all-wheel drive, it is smart to keep all four close in wear; if one is damaged early, you may need to replace or shave to match. Cracking or a bulge means replace right away.
Should I stick with sporty tires on my GV70?
That depends on what you want from the car. The GV70 drives sharper than most in its class, and a sport all-season keeps that feel. If you would rather trade a little edge for a quieter, longer-wearing tire, a touring all-season is a fair swap. Just keep all four matched for the AWD system, and pick based on how you actually drive it.
