What tires come on the Chevy Trailblazer?

Across the Trailblazer lineup, factory tires vary by trim and model year. For the latest generation, base L/LS models typically come with 16-inch wheels and 205/65R16 all-season tires; higher trims upgrade wheel size and tire profiles. Always confirm exact specs on the door placard or build sheet for your vehicle.


Typical tire configurations by trim


Below is a concise guide to the stock tire configurations most commonly found on recent Trailblazer models by trim level. Note that optional wheel packages and year-to-year changes can alter these sizes.



  • L and LS — 16-inch wheels with 205/65R16 all-season tires.

  • LT — 17-inch wheels with 205/60R17 all-season tires.

  • ACTIV — 17-inch wheels with 205/60R17 all-season tires (designed to balance on-road and light off-road capability).

  • RS — 18-inch wheels with 235/50R18 all-season tires.


These configurations reflect typical stock equipment for contemporary Trailblazer models; yours may differ if you have a factory wheel option or a different year. Check the vehicle's placard for exact sizes.


Notes on tires and replacement


When replacing tires, match the original size, load index and speed rating. For everyday driving, all-season tires are common, but all-terrain tires may be preferred for frequent off-road use. Replacing tires as a set helps maintain balanced handling and performance.


Where to verify exact specs


Your owner's manual, the door jamb placard, and the GM build sheet provide the official tire sizes for your exact vehicle. If you have a different year or trim package, sizes may vary.


Summary


In short, the Chevy Trailblazer’s factory tires vary by trim and year: L/LS typically use 16-inch 205/65R16 all-season tires; LT uses 17-inch 205/60R17; ACTIV uses 17-inch 205/60R17; and RS trades up to 18-inch wheels with 235/50R18.
