Hyundai Elantra: Tires and wheels

Refer to this section for vehicle identification information, including VIN location, emission certification, and regulatory compliance for your Hyundai Elantra.

Tire and wheel care directly influences your Hyundai Elantra’s ride quality, fuel economy, and handling precision. Routinely checking tire pressure, inspecting for wear, and ensuring proper alignment helps extend tire life and reduce strain on suspension components. Uneven wear may signal problems with balancing or alignment that should be corrected promptly. Avoid curbs and potholes to prevent sidewall damage or rim deformation. Rotate tires regularly as recommended to promote even tread use. Always use the manufacturer’s specified tire sizes and load ratings. Proper torque on wheel nuts ensures safety and prevents rotor warping. Clean wheels and brake dust buildup to avoid corrosion and maintain appearance. In colder climates, switching to winter tires improves grip and braking efficiency. Attention to these simple details ensures better road performance and long-term savings.
