The Kia Telluride X-Line is the off-road-oriented trim of the Telluride — with standard all-wheel drive, added ground clearance, and factory all-terrain tires on the X-Pro. It is one of the most capable family SUVs available without a dedicated off-road platform.
Kia Telluride X-Line tire sizes
The Telluride X-Line uses 245/50R20 on 20-inch wheels — the same size as most non-X-Line trims. The X-Pro trim steps down to 245/60R18 on 18-inch wheels for a taller sidewall better suited to light off-road use.
Best tires for the Telluride X-Line
Falken Wildpeak A/T3W (245/60R18) — the top all-terrain for the Telluride X-Pro, which runs the smaller 18-inch wheel. 3PMSF-rated winter traction, excellent off-road wet grip, more aggressive than highway all-seasons. The upgrade X-Pro owners choose most.
BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 (245/60R18) — the heavy-duty option for X-Pro owners. More aggressive than the Wildpeak, better mud and rock performance.
Michelin CrossClimate2 (245/50R20 for X-Line, 245/60R18 for X-Pro) — the all-weather pick for owners who primarily drive on pavement and want winter capability. 3PMSF-rated, excellent wet grip.

Choosing tires for the Telluride X-Line and X-Pro
These off-road-leaning Telluride trims give you a real choice: how much dirt do you actually see? If the X-Line mostly runs pavement with the occasional gravel road, a quality all-season or all-weather keeps it quiet and efficient. If you take the X-Pro onto real trails and clay, a light all-terrain adds the grip to back up the added ground clearance, at the cost of a little road noise.
West Georgia weather rarely forces a winter tire, so a snowflake-rated all-weather set is usually as far as most owners need to go for the cold. Because this is a heavy three-row SUV, the cheapest tires wear fast and get loud, so the mid range and up tends to be the better value. When you are torn between all-season and all-terrain, a local shop can match the tread to where you actually drive and confirm the right size for your trim.

Frequently asked
What tire size does the Kia Telluride X-Line use?
X-Line: 245/50R20 on 20-inch wheels. X-Pro: 245/60R18 on 18-inch wheels. Verify on the driver door sticker.
How much do Kia Telluride X-Line tires cost?
245/50R20 (X-Line): $165 to $260 per tire. 245/60R18 (X-Pro): $150 to $240 per tire. A full set of four installed runs $600 to $1,040.
How do I know when my Telluride X-Line needs new tires?
Run the penny test on the tread, and if you run all-terrains, inspect for chunking and cuts after off-road use. Longer wet stops and more road noise are everyday signs, and uneven wear points to a skipped rotation. A heavy loaded SUV punishes worn tires first in wet braking.
Is an all-terrain tire worth it on the X-Line?
It comes down to how much time you spend off pavement. For mostly-road driving with a little gravel, an all-terrain adds noise and wear you may not need, so a rugged all-weather is often the better fit. If you regularly hit trails or Georgia clay, the all-terrain grip is worth it. A shop can help you weigh the trade.
