Genesis G70 Shooting Brake Tyre Reviews

Tyres are the only part of a Genesis G70 Shooting Brake that touches the road, and they have more influence on braking, wet grip, noise and ride comfort than almost any other component you can change. This page collects owner reviews and buying advice for Genesis G70 Shooting Brake tyres in Australia.

What to look for in Genesis G70 Shooting Brake tyres

Luxury cars are tuned around a specific tyre, and many carry an original-equipment marking on the sidewall — a star for BMW, MO for Mercedes-Benz, AO or RO for Audi, J for Jaguar — indicating a construction developed for that vehicle. The marked and unmarked versions of the same tyre model can behave quite differently in ride and noise.

Cabin quietness is one of the main things buyers pay for in this segment, and tyre noise is the largest single contributor once the car is moving. Tyres with acoustic foam liners make a genuine difference. Many of these vehicles were also fitted with run-flats from new; if yours was, check whether the car has a spare and a jack before switching to conventional tyres.

Genesis G70 Shooting Brake tyre sizes and fitment

Tyre sizes for the G70 Shooting Brake vary by model year, variant and wheel option, so the vehicle placard is the specification that matters. It sets out the size, the minimum load index and speed rating, and the correct pressures. You can fit a higher load index or speed rating than the placard calls for, but going below either changes the safety margin the vehicle was engineered with.

Genesis G70 Shooting Brake tyre reviews from Australian owners

The value in owner reviews is the long-term detail. Tread depth after two years, noise as the tyre ages, wet performance in the second half of its life, and whether the tyre lived up to its claimed mileage — these are the things that decide whether a tyre was good value, and they only become visible over time. Browse the reviews below, and if you have run a set on your Genesis G70 Shooting Brake, please add yours.
