Product Description
The Goodyear Reliant All-Season delivers a smooth, quiet ride and dependable everyday traction exactly what full-size sedan owners want out of a replacement tire. This 225/55R17 97V size is a confirmed fit for the 2016–2019 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid and 2011–2013 Chevrolet Impala LT, giving owners of either model a factory-spec option built for comfortable daily driving.
This size combines the Reliant line’s signature Aquatred grooves — engineered to move water away from the tread and reduce hydroplaning risk with Decoupling Grooves for improved stability and handling response. Stable tread blocks help promote even wear over the life of the tire, and the asymmetric tread pattern is specifically designed to cut down on road and cabin noise, a detail sedan owners consistently notice and appreciate after switching from a noisier factory or aftermarket tire.
