Car Forum / Hyundai Cars / April 2005Need new tires on my '04 Sonata
Any recommendations on tires for an '04 Sonata. I only got about 23,000 miles out of the stock Michelins.There are just so many choices (and price ranges) it makes it hard to know what is good and what is bad You didnt get too many miles from those Michelins. I go to Pep Boys Auto center for my tires ; look for a softer tire and it will soak up some of the rear suspension sound that Sonata's are known for. I had a 2001 Sonata..and the noise was reverberating ; maybe they got it cleared up on your year. >Any recommendations on tires for an '04 Sonata.

I replacedthe OEM tires on my 03 Sonata at 18K (and they pretty much sucked in the rain for the last 6K miles). I replaced them with Yokohama Avid H4s (not H4) tires. These tires are incredible and, if you get them from TireRack, VERY inexpensive. Thanks, I will look into the Yokohama's. Not sure why the Michelins sucked so bad >>Any recommendations on tires for an '04 Sonata.

Soft ride, nice handling, have used them alot on my other cars. Reasonable and long lasting. > Thanks, I will look into the Yokohama's.

These tires >>are incredible and, if you get them from TireRack, VERY inexpensive. I'll be replacing the Michelins on my '04 as well. They're wearing very well but are horrible in the snow. My choice would be one of these. BF Goodrich traction T/A T, Goodyear Assurance Triple Tread or Comfort Tread. All have very high ratings at Tire Rack. Decided to try the Yokohamas. I checked on Tirerack.com for the H4s and the price seems good. About $64 a tire. Called a local tire place and was able to get all 4 for about $380 total (should be in end of the week) I didn't see any just H4 at tirerack, so I'm hoping the local dealer didn't order me the H4 rather then the H4s. What is the difference? >Thanks, I will look into the Yokohama's. Not sure why the Michelins >sucked so bad [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >>I replaced them with Yokohama Avid H4s (not H4) tires.

These tires >>>are incredible and, if you get them from TireRack, VERY inexpensive. The H4s has a more agressive tread and lasts longer. good choice, yokies are great tires... exspecially the avid h4. i remebr we had a used sonata loaner once with them, they were half worn and felt very stable in the snow n sluush. i was recommenting the nokians cause theyre the only 4 season tire thats severe snow usesages rated... but those yokies are pretty good too... im thinking of taking our winters of soon. in summer i have kumho/uylsses from walmart on our accent. 19.99 each heh heh =) >>Decided to try the Yokohamas.

They are very low-priced and have a good ride, good wet handling and decent snow service. Check out the ratings and reviews on Tire Rack. Not super-sporty, but overall, a very good value as far as I’m concerned. Bill |
