Genesis GV60 tyres
The Genesis GV60 leaves the factory on 235/55 R19 and 255/40 R21 and 255/45 R20 depending on wheel size, and the 235/55 R19 105W XL below is the one most owners are replacing. XL is not optional here; it is what the car was type approved on. The Audi Q4 e-tron takes the same size.

Your own placard is the authority. You will find it on the on the driver's door jamb, on the B-pillar. Where it disagrees with this page, it wins. Match or exceed the size, load index, speed rating and construction class it gives, and use its pressure figure rather than anything printed on the tyre.
What changes on this car
The GV60 is specified differently on each side of the Atlantic. On the 19 inch wheel, European cars wear an XL Michelin Primacy 4 at 105W while US cars are listed on a standard-load 101H, a gap of 100 kg per corner, so a US-spec tyre should not go on a UK car.
The 20 and 21 inch sizes match in load index between markets but not in speed rating: the UK sheets show W and Y where the US listings show V and W.
It shares the E-GMP platform with the Ioniq 5 and EV6. The 21 inch Pilot Sport EV has a sidewall of about 102 mm, the lowest on the car.
Which one to buy
How these were chosen. Everything here already clears this vehicle's own load index, speed rating and construction class. Each heading is a question about use rather than a ranking. The whole method.
If range is what you care about
Graded B for rolling resistance, the best of anything here, and that is the figure that shows on the range display. Graded A for wet grip, and nothing else that fits is graded higher. EPREL registration 2422476.

Common questions
- What size tyres does the Genesis GV60 take?
- It runs 235/55 R19 and 255/40 R21 and 255/45 R20. The exact fitment for your car is on On the driver's door jamb, on the B-pillar.
- Can I fit a cheaper tyre to a Genesis GV60?
- Only at 235/55 R19 105W XL or better. That is the figure to hold: a tyre below the load index, the speed rating or the construction class is not a cheaper one, it is the wrong one.
