#1 of 3 Hankook tires on 2008 Veracruz by worldrevolver Jan 11, 2009 (8:05 am)
Anyone know when Hyundai moved to Hankook tires on the Veracruz? I picked my GLS up on the 4th of January and it was equipped with Hankook Dynapro HP's. I see in other threads mentions of Kumho's on the GLS and Michelins on the SE and limited but no talk of the Hankook's. So far the ride seems quite smooth on these tires. 44 max psi and I am running them at 30 psi as the dealer suggested. I might move them up to 35-36 psi just to test how the car feels at that tire pressure. Replies to this message: oscar_gata (Jan 21, 2009 9:18 am)

My GLS FWD was built in April of 08 and it has the Kumho 789 Plus tires. Seem to be decent tires and so far I've had good luck in the midwest snow and ice, altough it's better on the highway than in town when it's slippery. Winter tires are certainly the way to go, but I hate to pull these already - not to mention the TPMS hastle if I change something out right now.

Replying to: worldrevolver (Jan 11, 2009 8:05 am) The GLS trim is equipped with either Hankook or Kumho tires. Its not uncommon for Hyundai to offer both of these Korean brands. The SE and Limited trims are only equipped with Michelins.
