Car Forum / Hyundai Cars / October 2004Sonata Tyre Wear.
Hi, I purchased a new V6 Sonata 2 years ago. Very pleased with it. Only gripe is the front tyre wear. 15000 miles on the clock and the front tyres need replacing. Tyre wear is even suggesting no tracking problems. They are the original Michelins on 16inch wheels. Is this wear premature? Going to replace with Perelli. Any comments?

Go read the reviews up on TireRack, they're used by several OEMs and are universally considered to be pure crap. I plan on replacing mine in about a month with some Yokohama H4S tires, they're much better. How often did you have them rotated? Front wheel drive vehicle needs a rotation at least every 6,000 miles. >>Hi, >>I purchased a new V6 Sonata 2 years ago. Very pleased with it.

There is still some tread left but after abot 12000 miles I started sliding all over the place on wet roads. I don't even want to know what they'll be like when it snows. That is the same experience that most of the people on TireRack have had. I give them about another 2000-3000 miles before they're completely bare. That would put me at 17K-18K miles on the car. I have to agree about the tires. The Yokohamas I put on there were much better. I got mine at Discount tire. Steve I have a 3 year old 2002 Sonata, changed the Mitchelin's at 81k, they were still legal, but winter aproaches. I put Dunlops on, for a change. LEAD FOOT! :P > I have to agree about the tires.

Please post it here---- I'm considering those very tires for my 04 Sonata when the time comes-- > >Hi, > >I purchased a new V6 Sonata 2 years ago. Very pleased with it.

I had Michelin tyres 205/60 R16 on my Sonata and they lasted for 53.000 Km (33.000 miles) making regular inversion front-rear every 10.000 miles; now I am running my 2nd set of Michelin and I find they are good tyres. probably Pirelly are more lasting but also more noisy. Besides, the205/60 r16 size with V code is made only by Michelin and may be other 1 or 2 brands, are you sure that Pirelli makes them?
