Hyundai Sonata tire sizes: common questions
What size tires does a Hyundai Sonata take?
- It varies by trim and wheel size, 4 factory fitments exist, from 205/65R16 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 Sonata?
- 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 Sonata?
- 35 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 Sonata?
- 79 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 Sonata come with a spare tire?
- Compact temporary spare or tire repair kit depending on trim.
