Alfa-romeo Giulia Tires

The Giulia sedan dates back to the early 60s with Alfa Romeo; early models of the Giulia weighed barely over a ton with a fairly powerful engine (for its time), making them a pretty potent sedan package. The Giulia was revived as a model for 2015 as the first rear-wheel-drive version of the car in over 20 years. The modern-day Giulia is a stylish compact that was named European Car of the Year for ‘17 and Motor Trend’s Car of the Year for ‘18. The Giulia is powered by either a turbo 2.0L 4-cyl or a 2.9L twin-turbo V6 that puts out an incredible 505 hp for neck-snapping acceleration; the ‘20 model features an upgraded infotainment system, Wi-Fi hotspot, and a list of other advanced features.

The Alfa Romeo Giulia has a near-perfect 50/50 front-to-rear weight distribution for excellent handling and road manners. It’s also loaded with advances like a carbon fiber driveshaft, aluminum alloy shock towers, carbon fiber aerodynamics, and a torque vectoring differential; thanks to weight reduction and a cylinder deactivation system, even the hottest versions of the Giulia are capable of 28 mpg highway.

Here at SimpleTire, we’ve completed a list of the best Alfa Romeo Giulia tires based on SimpleScore and put them all together in one place, including ultra-high-performance (UHP) and all-season tire choices. Ready? Let’s get started:

1. Continental ExtremeContact DWS06+ - Best UHP All-Season tire

The Continental ExtremeContact DWS06+ is designed with Conti’s SPORTPLUS+ technology package, for a tire that scores an overall 9.4 in our SimpleScore rankings. The ExtremeContact DWS06+ gets a SimpleScore of 9.8 for traction thanks to a system of high-angle and circumferential grooves, 3D sipes, X-grooves, and macroblocks with chamfered block edges that provide grip even in light snow. Cornering, braking performance, steering response, and road manners are all tight and responsive without being twitchy, with a 2-ply reinforced sidewall and SportSidewall insert that reduces deformation during hard driving – we give it a SimpleScore of 9.8 for handling. With a hybrid cap ply, steel belt layer, and polyester casing, the ExtremeContact DWS06+ is covered by a 50,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty, which is outstanding for any performance tire. We give this tire a SimpleScore of 8.8 in the longevity department.

2. Bridgestone Potenza Sport - Best UHP tire

We’ve long been impressed with the Bridgestone Potenza Sport tire. This ultra-high-performance tire draws on Bridgestone’s long experience in the motorsports realm, with a rubber compound that enhances wet and dry traction along with reinforcing block stiffness for sharp, responsive braking, cornering, and steering (SimpleScore of 9.9 for handling). Large circumferential ribs and grooves help evacuate water from the tire’s contact patch to resist hydroplaning, with broad outboard blocks at the shoulder for great cornering and braking grip; we decided we’d give the Potenza Sport a SimpleScore of 9.9 for traction. Internally, the Potenza Sport has a polyester casing reinforced by two steel belts and a tough aramid-nylon ply for high-speed stability and long wear for a longevity SimpleScore of 7.3. Of course, it’s worth remembering that the Potenza Sport is designed as a summer-only tire, with a rubber compound that will stiffen up and lose traction in colder weather. Like all summer tires, the Potenza Sport should be switched for all-season tires when temperatures are below 45 degrees F.

While these are the best Alfa Romeo Giulia tires on the market, there are plenty of other options to consider:

3. Falken Azenis FK460 AS - Great All-Season UHP tire

Here’s another great entry in the all-season UHP category: the Falken Azenis FK460 AS. Falken put the focus on steering response, cornering, road manners, and braking performance with the Azenis FK460 AS, with Tension Control Technology that absorbs shocks and helps distribute weight and G-forces during sharp maneuvers. Vertical tread notches minimize traction loss during hard cornering, and we give the Azenis FK460 a SimpleScore of 8.8 for handling. That same Tension Control Technology, along with a long-wearing advanced tread compound, is enough for this tire to be covered by a 50,000 mile warranty and a longevity SimpleScore of 9.1. Unlike many UHP tires, the Azenis FK460 AS can be used year-round, with sweeping grooves and circumferential grooves that help deliver great traction on wet or dry pavement, for a SimpleScore of 8.8.

4. Yokohama Advan Apex V601 - Great UHP tire

We close out our roundup with the Yokohama Advan Apex V601, a great value in a UHP tire for the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Control, cornering, braking, and steering response are all outstanding with this tire, thanks to its silica-rich tread compound, reinforced shoulder and sidewall, and solid center rib, for a SimpleScore of 8.8 for handling. The rigid construction and wear properties of the tread compound are enough for Yokohama to offer a 25,000 mile warranty (unusual for any UHP tire) and a SimpleScore of 8.1 for longevity. Wet and dry weather traction are also strong points, for a SimpleScore of 8.6.
