#11 of 19 new tires by dano13 Jan 30, 2008 (8:52 am)
Here is my 2 cents also, the 215-60 16 Michelins on my 2006 Sonata are shot with 25,000 miles on them, never liked them from day one they pick up nails and other hwy trash like no other tire i have owned, also the ride and handeling fade after about 6,000 miles feal like driving on ballons.Drove from Florida to californa 9000 miles and wanted to see how fast i could get it up to in the desert but at 120 mph the tires did not feal safe at that speed so i backed down ,ill be getting new tires soon but will go with an H rated tire and no more Michelins for me way over priced for my money .Will do some research Tire rack .com before i buy.

I've had my 2006 sonata GL for about 2.5 years and have 31000mi. This winter has been especially bad, sliding around alot. My front tires are at 4/32 and my rear are at 3/32. I usually drive around 70mph, I've never gone above 90mph. They recc. V or H rated tires, but those are usually only about 40k, 50k tires. Since I don't drive too fast, I'd rather get tires that are 60k or more. Those are rated S or T. If I will never go about 90mph is there any reason for me to NOT get the S or T tires? Thanks, I'd appretiate any advice
#13 of 19 Hyundai 2006LX Tires by davetech Aug 06, 2008 (7:40 am)
I am needing to replace my original Michelin 225/50-17V tires after 39K miles and trying to find the best option. For price and 60K mileage rating, I am considering the Kumho Solus KH16 tire. Has anybody had experience with this tire or any other alternative brand? Thanks. Replies to this message: wanna_azzy (Aug 07, 2008 10:32 am)

Replying to: davetech (Aug 06, 2008 7:40 am) You might want to check out the Hyundai forum at www.hyundai-forums.com and look at the discussions for the NF Sonata. Several posters have commented on different tire options that have worked (or not worked) for them.

Replying to: dump_truck (Jul 07, 2009 2:06 pm) I'm running with stock size (17" rims) Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position. Quiet for a high performance tire. No harshness and tons of grip in warm weather with some loss as temps drop below low 40's. Check reviews on Tirerack.com.

Replying to: ergsum (Jul 07, 2009 4:18 pm) thanks for the suggestion. probably is a nice tire, but for $180/per it should be. Just can't swing that on my budget at the moment. Those are twice the amount of the tires I mentioned. I don't want the cheapest things on the road(safety is important), but almost $200 a tire seems a bit much. Lot of people seem to like the kuhmo ecsta lx platinums, but it rains a lot in pa and wet traction is one of their weaknesses.

Replying to: dump_truck (Jul 08, 2009 12:45 pm) The Continental ExtremeContact DWS look interesting. Not much data or reviews available yet. I had ContiExtremeContacts on my previous vehicle and they also handle exceedingly well on dry, wet and Michigan snow (better snow performance than my current Bridgestones). However they were slightly noisier. Replies to this message: LASHAWN (Jul 10, 2009 11:57 am)

Replying to: ergsum (Jul 08, 2009 1:58 pm) Hers's my 2 cents. I have a 2006 Sonata LX V6 with the 225/50r17 MIchelin MXV4 tires and it's time to replace them after 60k miles(still have about 3-4/32nd left). I got really good life out these Michelins and considered going back to them, but can't seem to get over how much they cost. Do I stay with the Michelins or go with something of almost same quailty? Suggestions anyone?
