2 Answers
The Santa Fe has two tire models: 235/60R18 and 235/55R19. The first number 235 indicates the tire width is 235MM, 60 represents the aspect ratio of the tire section is 60%, meaning the section height is 60% of the width, the letter R stands for radial tire, and 18 denotes the rim diameter is 18 inches. The Santa Fe has a top speed of 206km/h and a fuel consumption of 8.9L per 100km. 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 the tire can carry the specified load under specified conditions. Letters A to Z represent the certified speed ratings of the tire from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. 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 the Hyundai Santa Fe for two years now, with tire size 235/65R17, which represents a width of 235 millimeters, an aspect ratio of 65%, and 17-inch diameter rims. This size is quite balanced, providing good shock absorption in the city and comfort on long trips. I've replaced the tires once, sticking to the original factory specifications because mismatched sizes can affect suspension wear or lead to higher fuel consumption. I always pay attention to checking tire pressure—too low increases fuel usage, while too high makes the ride bumpy. I also regularly check tire wear; shallow tread patterns increase the risk of skidding, especially in rain or snow. For tire brands, I recommend Michelin or Bridgestone for their durability and safety. In short, don't skimp on this—safe driving is what matters most.
