Hyundai Elantra: Tires and wheels

The tires and wheels on your Hyundai Elantra are more than aesthetic elements—they directly affect handling, braking, and ride quality. Each size and type is chosen for an ideal balance of comfort and performance. Knowing the correct specifications is crucial when replacing tires or switching to winter or performance sets. Incompatible sizes may lead to speedometer inaccuracy, increased fuel consumption, or reduced traction. Wheel offset, diameter, and bolt pattern must match precisely to maintain steering geometry and suspension alignment. The right combination also supports even tire wear and optimal contact with the road. Maintaining tire and wheel specs as outlined by Hyundai ensures the Elantra handles as engineered.
