What brand are the tires on the Beijing Hyundai Elantra?
2 Answers
Beijing Hyundai Elantra uses Nexen brand tires. There are two tire sizes available: 1. The 1.6L engine model is equipped with 205/55R16 size tires. 2. The 1.8L engine model is equipped with 215/45R17 size tires. Additional information: There are 3 key points to consider when purchasing tires: 1. The tire specifications should match the original equipment tires. 2. If tire specifications need to be changed, professional modification shops should be consulted for tire upgrades. 3. Fully consider vehicle performance, driving habits and preferences, road conditions, and climate conditions, then select appropriate tires based on the tire product positioning.
As someone who has driven a Hyundai Elantra for several years, I noticed its original tires are mainly from Hankook, such as the Kinergy series, which is quite common in domestic models due to Hyundai's focus on cost control. Occasionally, Nexen tires might also be fitted, depending on the configuration year and batch. Tires are the first line of safety—I used to check their pressure and wear regularly to avoid skidding in rainy conditions. If replacing tires, I'd opt for more durable brands like Bridgestone, but the original Hankook tires perform well, with acceptable noise levels and good cost performance. Overall, don’t neglect tire maintenance—it enhances driving stability and fuel efficiency.
