Genesis G80 Tires

The Genesis G80 is a full-size sedan from Hyundai’s luxury brand, loaded with comfort options and high-tech features and available with a range of engine options. The 2nd-generation G80 is available with a choice of a turbo 2.5L 4-cyl, turbo 3.5L V6, or 2.2L diesel and makes extensive use of weight-saving design as well as a stiffer body and subframe. The Genesis G80 is refined and has a stylish, comfortable interior packed with niceties like Open Pore wood trim, Napa leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, and a state-of-the-art technology package. The Genesis G80 Sport is available with a different palette of paint choices and features rear-wheel steering, an electronic system that harmonizes rear-wheel angles with front-wheel steering for better response and maneuverability.

Here at SimpleTire, we’ve put together some of the best Genesis G80 tires using SimpleScore, including all-season, all-weather, winter, and UHP all-season tires. Ready? Let’s get started:

1. Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack - Best All-Season tire

We’re going to kick off this list with the Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack. The Turanza QuietTrack is the first choice as the OEM tire for numerous luxury cars and crossovers. It’s a perfect tire for drivers who put a refined ride, low noise, and long tread life as well as year-round performance as some of their top priorities. Bridgestone starts the Turanza QuietTrack with a durable internal construction and a long-lasting rubber compound. Its internal design consists of a polyester casing with steel belts and a nylon cap overlay. Bridgestone covers the Turanza QuietTrack with a best-in-class 80,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty, which is enough for us to grant an outstanding SimpleScore of 9.6 for longevity. Open shoulder slots, 3D sipes, and a network of circumferential and lateral grooves all form a system that helps to resist hydroplaning and boost grip in light snow – in light of that, we give the Turanza QuietTrack SimpleScore of 9.7 for traction. We’re impressed with the Turanza QuietTrack’s precise cornering, steering response, and great road manners, thanks to its tread technology, stiff shoulder, and sidewall. After taking it all into account, it’s enough for a SimpleScore of 9.9 for handling. Maybe the strongest suit of the Turanza QuietTrack, though, is its great noise suppression; it’s designed with non-chamfered grooves, an optimized tread pitch, and in-groove ridges that all break up and cancel resonance and road noise for a driving experience that’s surprisingly serene and quiet.

2. Pirelli Cinturato WeatherActive - Best All-Weather tire

The Pirelli Cinturato WeatherActive falls into the all-weather category; if that’s a new term for you, that’s understandable. All-weather tires are a new-ish category that is somewhere between all-season and winter tires regarding performance and design. Probably the key difference is that all-weather tires are designed to deliver better winter traction while still offering the performance, forgiving ride, and low noise you’d expect from an all-season or Grand Touring tire. When it comes to all-weather grip, the Cinturato WeatherActive gets an outstanding SimpleScore of 9.8. Its combination of zigzag central grooves, sweeping directional grooves, and dense sipes work together as a system to give you the traction you need on wet or snowy roads. That kind of performance is also enough for the WeatherActive to be certified with the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake designation for severe winter service. We’re also impressed with the treadwear of the Pirelli Cinturato WeatherActive; it’s designed with a tread compound that’s not just durable but stays flexible for great traction at subfreezing temperatures. Pirelli backs the Cinturato WeatherActive with a 60,000 mile warranty, which we calculated into SimpleTire’s SimpleScore of 9.2 for longevity for this tire. That’s worth pointing out when you remember that most dedicated winter tires don’t come with a treadwear mileage warranty at all.

3. Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus - Best All-Season UHP tire

Here’s a tire that can offer the best of both worlds – the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS can deliver UHP levels of traction, cornering, braking, steering response, and overall handling, but with the kind of dependable grip that can get you through all kinds of weather conditions year-round. That’s a departure from most UHP and summer tires that have to be swapped for all-season tires in colder weather since they lose traction below 45 degrees F as the softer tread compound hardens in the cold. The ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS is an improvement over the Extreme Contact DWS06 in just about every aspect, starting with reinforced 2-ply sidewalls and macroblocks in the tread for full-tilt cornering ability, braking, and steering response. We figured that was enough for an incredible SimpleScore of 9.9 for handling. Long life and great wet-weather traction come from a silica-rich tread compound, sweeping lateral grooves, circumferential grooves, and X-sipes for rainy or light wintry conditions for a traction SimpleScore of 9.8. 9.8. Unlike many UHP tires, the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus is covered by a 60,000 mile warranty, for a SimpleScore of 9.2 in the longevity department.

While these are the best Genesis G80 tires on the market, there are plenty of other tires to consider:

4. Cooper ProControl - Great All-Season tire

We’re going to wrap up this tire roundup with the Cooper ProControl, a premium all-season tire that’s a great choice for a range of sedans, minivans, and crossovers. Cooper designed the ProControl with a long-wearing rubber compound, polyester casing, angled steel belt package, nylon reinforcement cap, and high turn-up at the sidewall. The ProControl has an outstanding 70,000 mile warranty, for a longevity SimpleScore of 9.8. Cornering, braking, steering response, and road manners are all predictable, stable, and confident, with a profile and footprint that distribute vehicle weight and the forces of inertia evenly, for a SimpleScore of 8.6 for handling. Year-round traction comes from a combination of circumferential grooves and lateral grooves to resist hydroplaning, and innovative sipes that widen for extra traction as the tire wears down. Sipe density is higher in the center ribs for improved grip in low-friction snow and slush – we give the Cooper ProControl a SimpleScore of 8.6 for traction.
