Here’s a year-by-year guide to Hyundai Tucson tire sizes, starting with the newest models and grouping years that share the same fitments. Use this as a quick reference before you shop or schedule service with Checkered Flag Hyundai World.

Current–2025 Tucson (latest generation)

For the current Tucson lineup, Hyundai equips the SUV with three core tire sizes depending on wheel diameter and trim. You’ll commonly see:

  • 235/65R17 on value-focused trims

  • 245/60R18 on many 18-inch wheel packages

  • 235/55R19 on upper and sporty trims

Hyundai’s official model pages list these fitments across gas, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid variants for 2025, and the 2026 overview currently shows the same 17/18/19-inch patterns. If you’re cross-shopping SEL, Limited, N Line, or hybrid trims, expect one of the sizes above from the factory.

What this means for you: 17-inch tires (235/65R17) emphasize ride comfort and longevity, 18-inch setups (commonly 245/60R18) balance steering feel with cushioned sidewalls, and 19-inch tires (235/55R19) sharpen response for Limited and sport-styled trims. When in doubt, check your driver’s-door jamb or send us your VIN and we’ll confirm the exact OE size for your build.

2024–2022 Tucson (launch years of this generation)

The first years of the current-generation Tucson established the same fitment logic most shoppers see today:

  • 235/65R17 on SE/Blue Hybrid and similar trims

  • 235/55R19 on Limited, N Line, many Hybrid/PHEV configurations

  • Select 18-inch packages appear depending on trim/equipment (commonly moving to an 18-inch all-season profile between the 17 and 19 options)

Multiple tire retailers and spec listings corroborate these sizes across 2022–2024, with 17-inch on entry models and 19-inch on upper trims. Hybrid and PHEV Limited models reliably carry 235/55R19 from the factory. If your 2022–2024 Tucson shows “SEL with Convenience” or an appearance package, it may step up to larger wheels.

2021–2019 Tucson (previous generation, refresh years)

These late-generation models use three recurring sizes tied to their wheel packages:

  • 225/60R17 on value and mid trims

  • 225/55R18 on SEL/Ultimate-type 18-inch wheels

  • 245/45R19 on Sport/Night packages with 19-inch alloys

Edmunds’ trim charts and tire fitment guides show 2019 models, for example, offering 17-inch (225/60R17), 18-inch (225/55R18), and 19-inch (245/45R19) options; 2020–2021 follow the same pattern by trim.

2018–2016 Tucson (previous generation, early years)

When this generation launched, Hyundai kept the choices straightforward:

  • 225/60R17 on SE/SEL-type trims (and Eco/Fuel Cell where applicable)

  • 245/45R19 on Sport and Limited 19-inch wheels

If you drive a 2016–2018 Sport or Limited, you’ll almost always be on 245/45R19; SE/Value/SEL variants typically ride on 225/60R17.

2015–2010 Tucson (second generation)

This generation simplifies to two core sizes:

  • 225/60R17 on GLS/SE and many mainstream trims

  • 225/55R18 on Limited and other 18-inch wheel packages

That 17-inch vs. 18-inch split is consistent throughout 2010–2015. If your badge says “Limited,” there’s a strong chance you’re on 225/55R18; GLS/SE commonly use 225/60R17.

2009–2005 Tucson (first generation)

Early Tucson models use 16-inch fitments:

  • 215/65R16 on GL trims

  • 235/60R16 on GLS and LX trims

You’ll see these sizes repeated across 2005–2009 depending on trim and drivetrain.

How to confirm your size (and why it matters)

Tucson sizes vary by year, trim, and wheel package. Even within the same year, wheel diameters can change with appearance or convenience packages. The fastest way to confirm is the certification label on your driver’s-door jamb; it lists the factory tire size and recommended pressure. If you’re not sure, our parts advisors can decode your VIN and confirm the exact OE spec in minutes. Matching the intended diameter, load index, and speed rating preserves ABS/traction control calibration and ensures proper ground clearance and odometer accuracy.
