The original tire configuration model for the Hyundai Elantra is 195/65R15. The first number 195 represents the tire width of 195MM, 65 indicates that the tire's aspect ratio is 65%, meaning the section height is 65% of the width, the letter R stands for radial tire, and 15 denotes the rim diameter of 15 inches. The Hyundai Elantra has a top speed of 190km/h and a fuel consumption of 6L per 100 kilometers. In addition to the model, the tire also carries the following common data: Tire cord material: Represented by Chinese pinyin, such as M-cotton cord, R-rayon cord, N-nylon cord, G-steel cord, ZG-steel radial cord tire. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under specified conditions.

Common speed ratings include: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h; Rim specification: Indicates the rim specification compatible with the tire for practical use, such as "Standard rim 5.00F".
I've been driving a Hyundai Elantra for almost five years, and the tire size is usually 185/65 R15, but it really depends on the year and configuration. For my 2015 model, this is the size, and it's great for daily city driving. Lower tire pressure makes it more comfortable but increases fuel consumption, so I usually keep it around 2.3 bar. Choosing the right tires is crucial. Last time I replaced them with Pirelli all-season tires, which reduced noise and improved fuel efficiency a bit. I recommend checking the label on the side of your car door to confirm the tire size—don’t just switch to other sizes, as it can affect handling and mileage accuracy. Check the tread depth every six months, and replace them immediately if it’s below 3mm—safety first, especially in rainy conditions. After driving 100,000 kilometers, tires age quickly. I prefer getting new ones at chain stores—spending a bit more for peace of mind.
