The INFINITI QX60 is built around a single promise: a smooth, quiet ride that makes long drives feel effortless. The right tire amplifies that character significantly — a noisy or harsh tire undercuts everything the QX60 delivers. Here are the best picks for every QX60 generation and size.
QX60 tire sizes by generation and trim
The second-generation QX60 (2022 to present, L51 platform) uses 235/55R20 on the base Pure and Luxe trims, and 255/45R21 on top Sensory and Autograph trims. The first-generation QX60 (2013 to 2021, L50 platform) used 235/65R18 across most trims.
The 21-inch fitment on the newer L51 generation has a short, low-profile sidewall that is more prone to pothole damage. If noise and comfort are your priorities, the 20-inch size is the better daily-driver choice if your trim offers both.
Best all-season tires for the QX60
Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack — the best quiet touring option for the QX60. Engineered to minimize cabin noise on luxury vehicles, with solid all-season capability. Available in 235/65R18 and 235/55R20. The top pick for QX60 owners who consider a quiet ride their highest priority.
Continental CrossContact LX25 — Continental premium touring SUV tire. Excellent wet braking, a smooth ride, and a 70,000-mile treadwear warranty. Available in all three QX60 sizes. A strong competitor to the Turanza for comfort-focused buyers.
Michelin CrossClimate2 SUV — the best choice for QX60 owners who encounter winter weather or want maximum all-weather flexibility. Holds the 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake rating. Slightly firmer ride than the touring options but meaningfully better in cold, wet, or light snow conditions.
Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Plus II — competitive pricing and wide availability. A solid performer in wet and moderate weather. Good backup choice if the above options are out of stock or over budget.
Tires for the QX60 on 21-inch Sensory and Autograph wheels
The 255/45R21 size used on top QX60 trims skews toward performance and luxury touring — budget options are limited in this size. The Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 SUV and Continental CrossContact LX25 are the top picks for this fitment.
Pothole risk is elevated on 21-inch low-profile tires. Consider road hazard coverage when purchasing, and check tire pressure monthly — low-profile tires lose noticeable handling at even 5 PSI below spec.

Can I put winter tires on my QX60?
Yes — if you encounter significant snow or ice, a dedicated winter tire set mounted on a second set of steel wheels is the safest option. The QX60 AWD system helps in snow, but winter tires provide dramatically more grip than all-season tires at temperatures below 45 degrees Fahrenheit.
