2 Answers
The original tire model of the Hyundai Elantra is NprizAH8, with a tire size of 195/65R15. Here, 195 refers to the tire width of 195 millimeters, 65 is the aspect ratio, meaning the sidewall height is 65% of the tire width, R stands for radial construction, and 15 indicates the rim diameter of 15 inches. The Hyundai Elantra is a compact car under Beijing Hyundai, with dimensions of 4510 mm in length, 1765 mm in width, and 1470 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2650 mm. The Hyundai Elantra is equipped with a naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 123 PS, a maximum torque of 150.7 Nm, and a maximum power output of 90.2 kW.
I've driven a Hyundai Elantra for several years. The original tires are usually 195/65 R15 or 205/55 R16, depending on the model year. The 195 represents the tread width in millimeters, 65 is the aspect ratio height, and R15 indicates 15-inch rims. This design is quite balanced, providing sufficient comfort for city driving while remaining stable at highway speeds. If you frequently drive on bumpy roads, the tire model makes a big difference; wider tires like 205 offer better grip but may slightly increase fuel consumption. When replacing tires for older cars like mine, it's advisable to prioritize original specifications. Brands like Kumho or Bridgestone are reliable – don't compromise safety by choosing cheap off-brands. Make tire inspection a habit: check pressure and wear monthly, especially since shallow treads can easily cause skidding.
