GMC Yukon tire size

Original tire sizes for the GMC Yukon, model years 2007 through 2024. Trim levels and wheel packages change the size within the same year, so confirm on the door-jamb sticker before ordering.

Check this first
Front and rear Same size One size fits all four corners on the fitments we list.
Wheel sizes 18", 20", 22" or 24" The wheel package decides which one your car has.
Tire sizes listed 4 In 10 model years more than one size was fitted, depending on trim.

Check before you order. The surest answer is the tires on the car right now: the size is molded into the sidewall. The placard inside the driver's door tells you what the factory fitted, which can differ from what a previous owner put on. Our guide on reading a tire size shows exactly where to look.

Which brand should you pick?

GMC does not stamp its own approval code on tires the way Porsche or BMW do. Any tire in the right size that meets or exceeds the load index and speed rating on your door placard is a legitimate replacement, so pick on wet braking, tread life and price. Our picks for each size are on the size pages below.

The drawing carries the sizes we list for this car, so you know what you are looking for. The placard on the car is still the final word, and it is the only place that gives the cold pressures: the number molded into the sidewall is the maximum the tire can hold, not what your car wants.

About the GMC Yukon

The Yukon is GMC's full-size body-on-frame SUV, sold alongside the mechanically identical Chevrolet Tahoe and, in long-wheelbase form, as the Yukon XL. It seats up to eight, tows heavily, and ranges from workmanlike SLE trims to the near-Cadillac Denali Ultimate. Tire buyers land here because wheel sizes span 17 to 24 inches and the same truck can wear anything from a tall 265/70R17 to a low-profile 22-inch highway tire.

Launched in 1991. Launched in 1991 for the 1992 model year, the Yukon name replaced the GMC Jimmy on the full-size two-door SUV, giving GMC a badge-engineered counterpart to the Chevrolet Blazer that later became the Tahoe.

How to tell the model years apart

Wheel and tire sizes follow the generation, not the badge, so identifying yours matters before you order.

2007-2014

GMT900

Smooth, rounded bodywork with flush glass and a much lower hood line than the previous boxy GMT800. Denali models get the body-color mesh grille. Most ran 17- or 18-inch wheels with 265/70R17 as the workhorse size, and 20-inch wheels with 275/55R20 on upper trims.

Tire sizes: 265/70R17 and 275/55R20

2015-2020

K2XX

Squarer shoulders, stacked LED running lights and a much better-finished interior, but still with a live rear axle. SLE and SLT trims used 18-inch wheels with 265/65R18; 20-inch SLT models ran 275/55R20 and Denali went to 22-inch wheels with 285/45R22.

Tire sizes: 265/65R18, 275/55R20 and 285/45R22

2021-2024

T1XX

Unveiled in Vail, Colorado in January 2020, this generation finally adopted an independent rear suspension, which freed up third-row space and lowered the load floor. Identify it by the C-shaped daytime running lights and the much longer rear doors. Denali and AT4 trims run 22-inch wheels with 275/50R22 tires.

Tire sizes: 265/65R18 and 275/50R22

What the press said

The GMT900 was praised for refinement and V-8 fuel economy relative to its size, and criticized for a cheap-feeling interior. The 2015 K2XX fixed the cabin but kept the solid rear axle, which reviewers repeatedly held against it next to the Ford Expedition. The 2021 redesign with independent rear suspension was received as the biggest step forward in the model's history, with the available air suspension and the diesel inline-six singled out for praise. Persistent criticism concerns size, fuel consumption and Denali pricing that pushes into Escalade territory.

Still, when it's time to go big the Yukon hits the sweet spot squarely, landing it a spot on our 2026 10Best list.

GM's reported Yukon figure includes the long-wheelbase Yukon XL from 2018 onward, and the combined total has grown from under 50,000 in 2017 to 92,390 in 2025.

Was it a success?

The Yukon is a high-margin success for GMC and the reason Denali became a brand in its own right. Resale is strong, particularly on Denali and diesel versions, because demand for big three-row SUVs consistently outstrips supply. Reliability is generally acceptable, with the main known issues being GM's cylinder deactivation systems on the 5.3-liter V-8, the 8L90 transmission on mid-decade trucks, and air-suspension repairs on the current generation.

Did you know?

  • The Yukon, Yukon XL, Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban and Cadillac Escalade are all built at GM's Arlington, Texas plant.
  • The 2021 redesign added nearly ten inches of third-row legroom purely by replacing the live rear axle with an independent setup.
  • Denali began in 1999 as a single Yukon trim level and is now offered across almost the whole GMC lineup.

Tire options on the GMC Yukon

Sizes run from 265/70R17 on older workhorse trims through 265/65R18 on SLE and SLT models, 275/55R20 on 20-inch trucks, 285/45R22 on older Denalis and 275/50R22 on current Denali and AT4 versions. Nothing is staggered, no Yukon uses run-flats, and all four corners take the same tire, so rotation is straightforward. Original equipment is highway all-season truck rubber, typically Bridgestone Dueler, Continental CrossContact or Michelin Primacy, and the 22-inch OE tires are expensive to replace. Load index matters if you tow: the Yukon is rated to roughly 8,000 pounds with the right package, so stay at or above the placard's load index and keep rear pressures at the loaded figure. Many owners fitting an AT4 or going off pavement upsize to a light-truck all-terrain in 275/60R20 or a 33-inch size, which costs a little economy and some road noise; 24-inch aftermarket wheels running 295/35R24 are also common on show trucks and give almost no sidewall.

GMC Yukon tires: common questions

What size tires does a GMC Yukon take?

The most common original size is 275/50R22. Other model years and trims use different sizes, so check the list on this page and confirm against the sticker inside your driver's door.

Can I fit a different size on my GMC Yukon?

You can, within limits: the overall diameter should stay within about 3 percent of the original, and the load index and speed rating must meet or exceed the door placard. Anything further changes your speedometer reading and can rub at full lock.

Where is the tire size on a GMC Yukon?

Open the driver's door and look at the white and yellow placard on the door jamb or the B-pillar. The same size is also molded into the sidewall of the tires currently on the car, unless someone changed them.

What size tires does a 2024 GMC Yukon take?

The 2024 GMC Yukon came from the factory on 275/50R22 and 265/65R18 and 295/35R24. Wheel packages can change that within the same model year, so check the placard inside the door jamb before you order.

What size tires does a 2023 GMC Yukon take?

The 2023 GMC Yukon came from the factory on 275/50R22 and 265/65R18 and 295/35R24. Wheel packages can change that within the same model year, so check the placard inside the door jamb before you order.

What size tires does a 2022 GMC Yukon take?
