The Kia Telluride is a refined three-row SUV with an emphasis on cabin comfort. Its buyers expect quiet, smooth ride quality with confident all-weather performance — the right replacement tire delivers on both.
Common Kia Telluride tire sizes
Kia Telluride (2020-current): 245/60R18 (LX, X-Pro; EX on some years), 245/50R20 (S, EX, SX, X-Line).
The X-Pro trim uses 245/60R18 on 18-inch wheels with standard AWD — it benefits from a more capable all-terrain or all-weather tire.
Best all-season and all-weather tires
Michelin CrossClimate2: the top recommendation for Telluride owners who want the best wet weather grip and all-weather capability. Check availability in your Telluride's factory size (245/60R18 or 245/50R20). Exceptionally quiet — important for a three-row family SUV.
Continental CrossContact LX25: excellent wet performance and fuel economy. Well-suited to the Telluride's family-focused character.
Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack: the quietest option — ideal for Telluride owners prioritizing cabin refinement for long family trips.

Best tires — Telluride X-Pro
The X-Pro is Kia's most capable Telluride, with 8.4 inches of ground clearance.
A crossover-focused all-terrain in the X-Pro's 245/60R18: the best upgrade for X-Pro owners who want more capability than the OEM all-season — better light off-road grip, and many options carry a 3PMSF winter rating.
Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015: a strong crossover-friendly A/T line worth pricing for the X-Pro — confirm current availability in 245/60R18.

Frequently asked
How much do Kia Telluride tires cost?
The two factory sizes (245/60R18, 245/50R20) run $120–180 per tire for quality all-seasons. A set of four installed: $480–720.
What OEM tires come on the Kia Telluride?
Common OEM fitments include the Kumho Crugen HP71, with Michelin Primacy tires on some earlier upper trims. The Michelin CrossClimate2 and Continental CrossContact LX25 are popular upgrades from either OEM.
Does the Kia Telluride have AWD?
AWD is available on most trims and standard on the X-Pro. The AWD system uses electronic torque distribution — standard advice applies: keep tread depth reasonably matched across all four tires, replace in axle pairs at minimum.
How do I know when my Telluride needs new tires?
Check the tread with a penny: if you can see the top of Lincoln's head, you are down to the wire and it is time. Beyond depth, watch for uneven wear across the tread, cracking in the sidewall, or a ride that has gotten noisier or squirmier in the rain. On a heavy three-row hauler, worn tires show up first as longer wet stops.
