Hyundai Accent Tire and Wheel Questions

I don't know, but I can think of a couple good sources to get an answer:

* The Parts Manager at your local Hyundai dealer. If he/she doesn't know, try the Service Manager.

* A place that specializes in wheels, such as Tire Rack or Discount Tire.

I think 10 minutes of research will get you a definitive answer.

Kicker you do realize that the GS has 14 inchers while the SE has 16. I was

Hyundai last week looking

this but I couldn't tell b/c all the cars come with the plastic covers covering the lugs. Seems as good as those SE wheels look, Hyundai would offer some alternative other than the plastic.

#5 of 9 FLAT TIRE by coobil

Dec 16, 2011 (2:22 pm)

Recently, I bought a 2012 Hyundai Accent GS hatchback, and had a slow leak puncture in one of my tires, one day. I used the air pump with the sealant which replaces a spare tire on the newer Accents, but without success. I had to call Hyundai roadside sevice for a tow truck to be taken to the nearest dealer for repair. On 11/1, Hyundai said if I sent the bill for the new sealant canister to them, they would reimburse me (about $35). I did, but then they called to say that they wouldn't! So, a flat tire costs them the towing; and for me - $52!

#7 of 9 tire rotation pattern for '12 Accent by jimtron

Aug 30, 2012 (3:48 pm)

I've got a 2012 Accent and want to rotate the tires (I've got over 8k miles on it). In the manual on p. 7-39 there's a paragraph on tire rotation but it doesn't specify a pattern (front to back, side to side, criss cross, etc).

Anyone have a recommendation? I don't know what kind of wheels and tires I have off the top of my head, I'll check an report back. It's a GLS.

Move the front tires straight to the rear and cross the rears to the front (left rear to right front, right rear to left front) You probably want to rotate a little sooner than 8,000 miles as well. I have a buddy who owns a tire shop/garage and they recommend rotations every 6,000 miles. Rotations on a regular basis will really help maximize how long your tires will last for you. (Driving conditions and habits will certainly factor in as well)
