GMC Tires for Latest Generation SUVs and Trucks

GMC tires vary depending on the model and even the powertrain, but you can always find your vehicle’s tire size by looking at the printed number on your current tire’s sidewall. It’s also located on the driver’s side door jamb or in your vehicle’s owner’s manual. Here are some of the original equipment GMC tire sizes for the latest iteration of each model:

GMC Acadia Tire Sizes

• 235/65R18 106H
• 235/55R20 102H
• 245/65R17 107H
• 255/65R17 110S

GMC Terrain Tire Size

GMC Sierra 1500 Tire Size

• 255/70R17 112S

GMC Envoy Tire Size

When reading tire sizes, the first three numbers are related to tire width in millimeters. After the forward slash, the two numbers are the aspect ratio, the ratio of the height of the tire’s cross-section to its width. The letter “R” stands for Radial, which are the layers that run radially across the tire. The following two numbers are the wheel diameter when measured end to end. Finally, the remaining number and letter combination relates to the load index and speed rating for the tire. 

Tire Types

The right tire for your Franklin commutes can vary depending on your driving condition, such as driving in harsh weather conditions or across uneven terrain. Here are the basic tire types for your vehicle: 

• All-Season tires are designed for year-round use – rain or shine. They offer well-rounded performance on most surfaces and in most weather conditions.
• All-Terrain tires easily carry you from smooth road surfaces to loose off-road adventures. An aggressive tread pattern optimizes traction off-road, but likely needs more regular rotation. 
• Run-Flat tires give you peace of mind on unpredictable roads around College Station if you ever get a flat. 
• Performance/Summer-Only tires can handle hot streets and heavy rainfall. They are optimized for maximum dry- and wet-road performance. These tires contain rubber compounds that make them unsuitable for winter months and cold climates.
• Snow/Winter tires are opposite to summer-only tires as they are optimized for increased traction in cold weather and snow- and ice-covered roads. These tires decrease dry-road traction, increase road noise, and have a shorter tread life.
