What kind of tires does a 2013 Hyundai Elantra take?

Are 16 or 17 tires better?

The smaller 16-inch wheels come with tyres that have larger sidewalls that act as cushions against sharp edges on the roads, like ruts and potholes. While 17-inch tyres look much better, the shorter sidewalls aren’t as good in filtering out road shocks.

Is 27 too low for tires?

The absolute lowest tire pressure you can drive on is 20 psi—and even that isn’t recommended. Anything below 20 psi is considered a flat tire, and driving on it can damage your car. If your tires are this low, you should add air. Recommended tire pressures usually range between 32 psi and 35 psi.

What PSI should my tires be set at?

Proper tire pressure can vary from vehicle to vehicle, but for most makes and models the recommended tire pressure is between 30-35 PSI (pounds per square inch). Avoid over-inflating your tires to max pressure or beyond in order to prevent poor braking and decreased tire life.

What air level should tires be?

Most passenger cars will recommend 32 psi to 35 psi in the tires when they’re cold. The reason you check tire pressure when they’re cold is that as tires roll along the road, friction between them and the road generates heat, increasing both the temperature and the air pressure.

At what percentage should you replace tires?

Most tires have 10/32nds of tread when new, and when 80 percent of the tread has worn down, or its reached 2/32nds, it’s time for new tires.

At what percentage should tires be replaced?

The U.S. Department of Transportation recommends replacing tires when they reach 2/32”, and many states legally require tires to be replaced at this depth. The idea of the penny test is to check whether you’ve hit the 2/32” threshold.

Should you replace all 4 tires at once?

It’s always best to replace all 4 tires at the same time. This is because all 4 tires spin independently of one another, and different tread depths and/or styles can cause them to spin at different speeds. That could potentially damage the drive train, and possibly affect an indirect TPMS system if the vehicle has one.

Should I replace one tire or all 4?

To achieve optimum vehicle handling, ride comfort, and road traction, it’s generally recommended that you have all four tires replaced at the same time.

Do you need an alignment after replacing tires?

We recommend an alignment after the installation of new tires. This helps you get the most life from your new tires. Wheel alignment checks are always advised after a significant impact or uneven tire wear is detected.

Is it OK to replace just 2 tires?

If two of your tires wear out faster, it may only be necessary to replace those two instead of replacing all four. If you do, it’s important to have the two new tires installed on the back and the partially worn tires moved to the front – even on front-wheel-drive vehicles.

How do I know if my car needs an alignment?

How much does it cost to have 4 tires put on?

Thus, expect to pay between $88 to $100 for four tires. Of course, you would also need to pay the disposal fee if you’ll leave the old tires.

Is it cheaper to buy 4 tires?

Among them, 70 percent were successful at getting a deal, with the median savings being $96 per set of four tires.
