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): 245/65R17 (LX, EX), 235/65R18 (EX, S, X-Line, X-Pro), 235/55R19 (SX, SX-P, X-Pro).
The X-Pro trim uses 235/65R18 with skid plates and 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. Available in 245/65R17, 235/65R18, and 235/55R19. 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 underbody protection and 8.3-inch ground clearance.
Falken Wildpeak AT3W in 235/65R18: the best upgrade for X-Pro owners who want more capability than the OEM all-season. Better light off-road grip and 3PMSF winter rating.
Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015: another strong A/T option for X-Pro owners — slightly quieter than the Wildpeak with similar capability.
