Best Tires for the Infiniti QX80

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 is not a performance SUV.

Infiniti QX80 tire sizes

The QX80 uses 265/60R20 on the standard 20-inch wheels across most model years (2014 to present). Some configurations use 265/50R22 on 22-inch wheels. The 265/60R20 is the most common replacement size.

Always verify on the driver door sticker. The QX80 is a heavy vehicle — load index compliance is important. Never install tires with a lower load index than specified.

Best tires for the Infiniti QX80

Michelin Premier LTX (265/60R20) — the quietest, most comfort-focused choice for QX80 owners. Excellent wet braking due to the EverGrip compound technology with rain grooves that widen as the tire wears. High load capacity available.

Continental CrossContact LX25 (265/60R20) — 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 (265/60R20) — the OEM-style choice. Bridgestone supplies original equipment tires on many Infiniti and Nissan products. The Dueler H/L Alenza Plus is a quiet, long-wearing highway tire appropriate for QX80 use.

Michelin LTX M/S2 (265/60R20) — if you occasionally tow or need a bit more toughness than a passenger SUV tire, the LTX M/S2 offers light truck ratings with a quiet on-road character. Popular with QX80 owners who tow boats or trailers.
