What tires does the Outlander use?
2 Answers
The Outlander comes with Dunlop brand tires as original equipment, with both front and rear tire sizes being 225/55R18, and the spare tire size being 215/70R16. Tires should be replaced every three years or 60,000 kilometers, but this mainly depends on wear conditions. If there is damage to the sidewalls or more than three punctures, replacement is recommended. The Outlander is a compact SUV with dimensions of 4705mm in length, 1810mm in width, and 1710mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2670mm. The Outlander is equipped with two engines: a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine.
The original tires for the Outlander vary depending on the model year and region, commonly featuring Yokohama's Geolandar series, such as the Geolandar H/T or G91, with sizes mostly around 225/55R18, designed as all-season tires suitable for SUVs. Different versions may use Bridgestone Dueler or Goodyear Assurance, which balance highway comfort and mild off-road capability. Tire quality affects handling, and during test drives, I noticed good noise control and strong grip on wet surfaces. For maintenance, it's recommended to check tire pressure and wear every 5,000 kilometers; if upgrading to off-road activities, switching to All-Terrain tires can enhance escape capability. The Outlander owner's manual recommends regular tire rotation to extend lifespan—never overlook safety. Overall, the factory tires are quite reliable, but for long-distance or extreme weather conditions, consider seasonal-specific tires to enhance performance.
