The original tire specification for the Tucson is 225/55R18, which belongs to the premium series of Bridgestone tires. Below are some relevant materials about the tires: Tips to extend tire lifespan: 1. Pay attention to daily tire . Regularly check for punctures, scratches, or bulges caused by broken cords. 2. Monitor tire pressure periodically. Check tire pressure frequently and measure it every month, topping it up as needed. Always check tire pressure before highway driving to ensure it is within the normal range. 3. Develop good driving habits. 4. Try to avoid sudden starts, hard braking, and fast cornering, as these actions can accelerate tire wear and increase instantaneous pressure. Avoid running over hard objects on the road and control your speed.

My friend just got the Tucson L Hybrid, which comes with Michelin Primacy 4 tires in 235/60 R18 size featuring a self-sealing coating. These tires are particularly suitable for urban commuting, as small nail punctures don't require immediate repair. However, the original tires aren't cheap, costing over 4,000 yuan for a set of four. For those on a budget, Giti's F50 is also a good option, with only a 10% difference in wet grip test performance. When modifying tires, ensure the outer diameter change doesn't exceed 3%, otherwise the ABS may malfunction. Check the TREADWEAR index on the tire sidewall - values above 400 indicate better wear resistance.

The tires used by the two generations of Tucson in my family are completely different. My dad's old model came with 215-width Maxxis MA656, while the new model now directly uses 235-width tires. The tire specifications are printed on the door frame or fuel filler cap, and you need to check the speed rating (H or V) when replacing tires. Last time I had a flat tire, I realized the spare tire was a non-full-size one, only suitable for emergency use at speeds up to 80 km/h. For daily , it's recommended to rotate the tires every 20,000 kilometers, which can extend their lifespan by 20%. It's also important to regularly clean out stones stuck in the treads, as they can significantly damage the rubber.
