Full specifications by generation

The tire sizes on a Hyundai Elantra is set by its generation, not its model year, so each generation has one page carrying the complete figures, part numbers and fitment notes for every year it covers.

Hyundai Elantra tire sizes: common questions

What size tires does a Hyundai Elantra take?

It varies by trim and wheel size, 5 factory fitments exist, from 195/65R15 up. Check the placard on the driver's door jamb for the size your specific vehicle left the factory with.

What is the bolt pattern on a Hyundai Elantra?

5x114.3. That is the figure you need when shopping for aftermarket wheels; centre bore and offset still have to match separately.

What should the tire pressure be on a Hyundai Elantra?

33 PSI front and rear, measured cold. The number moulded into the tire sidewall is the tire's maximum, not the vehicle's recommendation. Do not inflate to it.

What is the lug nut torque for a Hyundai Elantra?

80 lb-ft, tightened in a star pattern with a torque wrench. Impact guns routinely overshoot this by 100 lb-ft or more, which warps rotors and stretches studs.

Does the Hyundai Elantra come with a spare tire?

Tire mobility/repair kit on most trims (no spare tire); check trunk before assuming a spare exists.
