Best Tires for GMC Terrain

The GMC Terrain is a refined compact crossover with a focus on comfort and efficiency. Most owners want a tire that is quiet on the highway, confident in rain, and long-lasting. Here are the best options.

Common GMC Terrain tire sizes

3rd gen Terrain (2018-current): 225/65R17 (SL, SLE), 235/55R18 (SLT, Denali), 235/55R18 (AT4).

2nd gen Terrain (2010-2017): 235/65R16 (SL), 235/55R18 (SLE, SLT), 225/65R17 (base).

The AT4 trim adds off-road styling with an available all-terrain tire — it shares sizes with the SLT.

Best all-season tires

Michelin CrossClimate2: the top recommendation for Terrain owners. Available in 225/65R17 and 235/55R18, excellent wet performance, 3PMSF winter rating, quiet ride.

Continental CrossContact LX25: excellent wet grip and fuel economy — well-suited to the Terrain's efficiency focus.

Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack: the quietest choice for owners who prioritize highway refinement.

Best tires — Terrain AT4

The AT4 uses off-road suspension tuning and pairs well with an all-terrain tire for owners who use it on unpaved surfaces.

Falken Wildpeak AT3W in 235/55R18: the best A/T upgrade for AT4 owners — 3PMSF winter rating and genuine off-road capability.
