The Genesis GV70 has become one of the most praised 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 235/55R19 on the 19-inch base wheel fitment and 255/45R20 on the 20-inch sport wheels available on higher trims and the GV70 Sport. The Sport trim with the turbocharged 3.5T engine typically comes on 20-inch wheels with the wider 255/45R20 fitment.
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 SUV — the top pick for GV70 owners who want sport response with all-weather confidence. Available in both 235/55R19 and 255/45R20. 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.
Michelin CrossClimate2 SUV — the best all-weather pick for GV70 owners who occasionally encounter cold or wet conditions. Holds the 3PMSF winter rating. Slightly firmer ride but genuinely better cold-weather grip than a standard all-season.
Best summer tires for the GV70 Sport 3.5T
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S — the top summer tire for GV70 Sport owners on 20-inch wheels. The 3.5T makes 375 hp and deserves a tire compound that can use it. Available in 255/45R20. Exceptional dry grip with strong wet traction.
Continental SportContact 7 — Continental flagship summer tire in 255/45R20. Competes directly with the PS4S and is the right choice when Michelin is out of stock or priced higher at your shop.
