Product Description
The Goodyear Reliant All-Season delivers reliable, everyday performance for drivers who want a straightforward replacement tire without overpaying for extras. This 225/50R17 94V size is a confirmed fit for the 2012–2015 Chevrolet Cruze LT and 2012–2018 Ford Focus Electric, giving owners of either vehicle a factory-spec option built for daily commuting.
This size combines the Reliant line’s signature Aquatred grooves engineered to evacuate water from under the tread and reduce hydroplaning risk with Decoupling Grooves built specifically into this fitment for improved stability and handling response. Stable tread blocks help promote even wear over the life of the tire, and the reinforced internal structure is designed to maintain tire shape and control at highway speed, all while keeping the ride smooth and the cabin quiet.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the “94V” mean on this tire?
94 is the load index the maximum rated weight the tire can carry per tire at full inflation and V is the speed rating, meaning the tire is built for sustained speeds up to 149 mph under proper conditions.
Why do different Cruze trims use different tire sizes?
Trim levels often come with different factory wheel packages, which changes the correct tire size the Cruze LT uses this 225/50R17 size, while the Cruze Eco uses a 215/55R17. Always confirm on your door placard.
Does this tire work well on an electric vehicle like the Focus Electric?
Yes — it’s a standard all-season passenger tire suited to the Focus Electric’s factory wheel size and weight, though EV owners sometimes prioritize low rolling resistance tires for maximum range, which is a different consideration from this all-around all-season option.
What’s the expected tread life?
It carries a 65,000-mile treadwear warranty, though actual mileage depends on driving habits, alignment, and rotation schedule.
Is the Goodyear Reliant good in wet weather?
Yes it’s built with Aquatred-style grooves specifically designed to channel water away from the tread, helping reduce hydroplaning risk and improve wet-road grip.
