Hyundai Elantra tires vary by model. Here are the specific details: 1. For the 2008 Elantra 1.6L-AT-GLS, the tire size is 195/65-R15; for the 2010 Elantra 1.6L manual/automatic GL, the tire size is 185/65-R15. 2. For the 2011 Elantra 1.6L manual luxury model, the tire size is 195/65-R15; for the 2011 Elantra 1.8L automatic luxury model, the tire size is 205/55-R16. 3. For the 2016 Elantra 1.6L manual Jia Yue edition, the tire size is 185/65-R15; for the 2017 Elantra 1.6L automatic Yue Xin edition DLX, the tire size is 205/55-R16.
I just replaced the tires on my Hyundai Elantra with 205/55 R16 specifications, which many car enthusiasts commonly use. I remember my previous car had a flat tire on the highway because I didn’t pay attention to the original specifications and ended up with a similar but not exact match, which made the handling feel off—the steering wheel always seemed unstable. Hyundai Elantra tires are generally quite stable, and this size matches the suspension design, improving grip and even saving fuel. Don’t get the wrong size; a larger size might rub against the wheel well liner, while a smaller size can affect the speedometer accuracy, making driving uncomfortable and dangerous. When buying tires, I always check the manual at the store first to confirm. The dealership also recommends regular checks on tire pressure and wear. For city driving like mine, tires need replacement every two to three years—safety is the top priority. After installing the new tires, the driving feel became noticeably smoother, and I haven’t experienced any unexpected skidding since.
