I too have a 2005 Tucson-and so far have had to have the front tires replaced-and I have about 26,000 miles on my car-which when I bought the car new and drove it off the lot it had 6 miles on it! I've been wondering the same thing-why did my tires go bad in such a short mileage age-I granny my suv-it is well taken care of!!!! We replaced them just the other day because the last time I drove it-in the rain-it tried to hydroplane on me several times at 55mph and it wasn't a heavy rain either-we're talking small puddles on the road-I thought well maybe because it hasn't rained in a while-but now I'm starting to think they were just cheap tires-and nothing was said about the tire sensor gauge-hmmm-but they we not done at a dealership-but at a respectful tire place-guess I'll find out-I have had other problems-I'm gonna check out the rest of the forum to see if these problems have come up! thanks ya'll.
#10 of 11 Tucson best sellers by clayman100 Nov 15, 2008 (6:06 pm)
When I changed the tires on my Elantra I went online to the http://www.tirerack.com I input my info for what I was looking for and ended up buying the most popular tire. It was a Kumho Ecsta ASX. It was like night and day. True, the stock tires are not the best and don't expect them to last as long as a preminum tire. Some folks order the tires online and have them sent to a local tire dealer to mount. I called around until I found a local tire outlet and never looked back. I have 20,000 miles on my '07 Tucson now and so far so good.
#11 of 11 TPMS Sensor by rick99037 Dec 11, 2008 (8:49 pm)
I have a 2006 Tucson, and as most of these messages are about, I also went through a set of tires. At our 30,000 mile service the dealer said my tires were due to be replaced. When we bought the car it came with free lifetime tires. They sent it to a tire dealer and when it returned the TPMS light was on. They checked it out and decided the sensor went bad. They ordered one and say it will be in next week. As I said, the tires were replaced at no charge to me, and this deal with the sensor is all under warrantee. I don't know why changing the tires would blow the sensor, but they said it did. The tires they bought were All Season Bridgestones. A very good tire indeed. I looked them up on line and the Bridgestone site said they were 60,000 mile tires. A lot better than the factory tires. So far, I am very happy with them. They have a much better ride, but I am wondering about the old ones not lasting more than 30,000 miles.
