What tires are best for the Elantra?
1 Answers
The Elantra uses Nexen tires with a tire size of 205/55R16. Nexen Tire, founded in 1942, is Korea's first automobile tire manufacturer and a global tire company dedicated to producing tires for passenger cars, SUVs, and light trucks using advanced technology and equipment. Nexen Tire operates four world-class factories, six subsidiaries, and 14 overseas branches, with a sales network spanning over 140 countries and regions. For daily use of Elantra tires, pay attention to the following points: Regularly inspect the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to driving wear, the tread grooves gradually become shallower. If the tread wears flat, it loses its drainage and anti-skid functions, significantly reducing the vehicle's performance. Small cracks may also pose a risk of tire blowouts during high-speed driving. Additionally, promptly remove pebbles lodged in the grooves. Park on level ground whenever possible. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that may degrade rubber. After parking, avoid turning the steering wheel, as this accelerates tire wear. Do not splash water to cool overheated tires. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires may overheat, and tire pressure may increase. In such cases, stop to allow the tires to cool naturally. Never release air to reduce pressure or splash water to cool the tires, as this may cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Minimize frequent or hard braking to prevent accelerated tread wear caused by dragging between the tire and the road.
