The Infiniti QX80 is a large body-on-frame luxury SUV based on the Nissan Patrol platform. It weighs over 5,600 lbs fully loaded and is commonly used as a family hauler and tow vehicle. Tire selection for the QX80 should prioritize load capacity, quiet highway ride, and all-season capability. This isn't a performance SUV.
Infiniti QX80 tire sizes
The QX80 uses 275/60R20 on the standard 20-inch wheels across most model years (2014 to present). Higher trims use 275/50R22 on 22-inch wheels. The 275/60R20 is the most common replacement size.
Always verify on the driver door sticker. The QX80 is a heavy vehicle, so load index compliance matters. Never install tires with a lower load index than specified.
Best tires for the Infiniti QX80
Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 (275/60R20): the most comfort-and-longevity-focused choice for QX80 owners. Quiet highway ride, excellent wet braking, and long tread life, with the high load capacity the QX80 needs.
Continental CrossContact LX25 (275/60R20): the best balance of quiet ride and all-season performance for the QX80. Very low road noise, strong wet weather scores, and a 70,000-mile treadwear warranty. Outstanding for highway miles.
Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza Plus (275/60R20): the OEM-style choice. Bridgestone supplies original equipment tires on many Infiniti and Nissan products, and the Dueler H/L Alenza Plus is a quiet, long-wearing highway tire appropriate for QX80 use.

Frequently asked
What tire size does the Infiniti QX80 use?
Most QX80 models use 275/60R20. Some configurations with 22-inch wheels use 275/50R22. Verify on the driver door sticker.
How much do Infiniti QX80 tires cost?
275/60R20: $160 to $250 per tire. 275/50R22: $190 to $290 per tire. A full set of four in 275/60R20 installed runs $640 to $1,000.
How do I know when my QX80 needs new tires?
Check the tread with a penny and factor in the age of the rubber. On a vehicle this heavy, worn tires stretch your stopping distances more than most drivers expect, especially loaded up or towing. If the ride's gotten rough or wet grip feels off, don't wait for the wear bars. A shop can measure all four in a couple minutes.
Do I need special tires if I tow with my QX80?
Not special, but respect the load rating. Towing loads the tires harder and builds heat, so replace with a tire that meets or beats the load index on your door-jamb sticker. A quality highway or light all-terrain tire handles trailer duty fine. Don't drop to a cheaper, lower-rated tire when there's weight behind you.
