Size 225/45R17, thats what came on this Limited.

Curious about the warranty:

Warranty summary for replacement tires purchased on or after 02/01/16

Treadlife Warranty:
None

Uniformity Warranty:
1 Year / first 2/32" of wear

Workmanship & Materials Warranty:
6 Years / Free replacement first year, 2/32" then prorated until 2/32" remaining depth

Manufacturer Warranty Brochure:
Download PDF

Manufacturer Special Warranty:
3 Year Roadside Assistance

Over the years with new car tires, had to replace as early as 10K miles, most was 40Kmiles, how long do you think these will last? 87 bucks per tire at tirerack.com.

Always been tempted to tell the dealer, you keep your tires, give me a credit and I will buy my own, but never have done this yet.

Nexen shocked the tire world when they rolled out the strongest OEM "replacement" tire warranty in America. As you stated, the two biggest "eye openers" were: Two (2) years free road hazard and three (3) years free roadside assistance.

I have absolutely no issues or complaints with my NPriz AH8's. In fact, I was a bit taken back at the smoothness of the ride, but more importantly, the quietness at any speed.

Hoping to get 40k out of these. I will include the Nexen brand when I evaluate my next set for purchase. The 2013 had Bridgestone Turanza Serenity Plus tire's to replace those ear-splitting ContiPro Contacts. What a rubberized donut of garbage they were. Rated 500 A A. Tracked well, and decent handling in the small amount of snow that we get. But the road roar!!! :eek: Sheesh!!!

Cheapest new wheel I can find for this Limited is this one. $72.00 from tirerack.com




Cheapest tire on tirerack.com is this one:



    • Size: 225/45R17
    • Sidewall Style: Blackwall
    • Load Range: XL
    • Serv. Desc: 94W
    • UTQG: 380 A A

    • Qty: Per Tire:

  • $66.25
  • Availability: In Stock
That would give me a full size spare for about 150 bucks if I can find one locally to avoid shipping charges. Should check with son, one of his friends owns a wrecking yard.


Food for thought.

When I bought my new tires for the 2013 I also bought 1 rim as I thought the curb/pothole I hit damaged the rim. Turns out rim was just fine, but I did save it for the 2017 so I already have a full-size spare :)
 
#12 ·
You mean the Center Cap "H". If so yes you just knock it out with your hand or something. But that should not stop you from removing or installing rim/tire to the car. Lug nuts should still be visible.
 
#14 ·
Ohh yeah, you will not be able to secure the full size spare tire in spare tire compartment. You will need a different hold down bolt thing (whatever proper name for it) The one that comes with the donut spare will be too short. I left mine not secured and have taken some tight corners or corners a little too fast and have not heard a peep from the spare moving around.
 
#17 ·
Correct, the 2013 had the same problem. Not sure if Hyundai makes the hold down bolt longer for full-size spares?

As for the name? When I was younger I used to race BMX bikes, hence the name AceBMXer. >:D

Had the opposite problem with my Supra, full size spare came mounted with the outside of the tire up. Since this car came with two 4" speakers in the front and two 5" speakers in the rear, no bass. Inverted that spare to give a deep cavity so I could mount a 10" woofer on the lid.

That wing bolt was too long with a cup on to center the tire, so had to make a cup like it and use a short bolt. Would mount a full size spare in the Elantra the same way, so that plastic tray with the tools in it would fit inside, even if I have to trim it so its level with the top of the tire.

I note with this compact spare, that plastic tray is the only support for that lid.

With passenger car tires, mounted on the floor pan either way, have rubber making that contact. Not the case with my motorhome wheels with duals, center of the wheel sticks out about three inches past the rubber, so can only be mounted one way.

Ha, have a machine tool lathe for around the last 40-50 years, so if I can't find the part I need, I make it.

@NicholasD: I've got the drugs down, thanks to the job. Sometimes think I could remove an appendix or gall bladder from all the times I've walked into the OR suite. LOL

Can habla enough for casual conversations and mexican restaurant dining. Learned French in high school. Remember only the phrases that would get my face slapped. Picked up Japanese in Okinawa, Vietnamese from...well, you know where. Here's the problem with all of that. I'll start out in one language and somehow interject some word from another language into the mix. The looks of others is priceless. Mine is a look of embarrassment. :blush:

Kinda like the service writers trying to communicate to a customer in mechanicese. Poor customer just stands there, nodding approvingly. Doesn't have the foggiest idea what he was told or just agreed to. Then, he gets the bill! :eek: Like shooting 500 fish in a 30 gallon barrel.

Getting back to tires: Detoured through the tire department leaving Sam's this morning. What caught my eye: Pirelli P4 Touring replacement tires for our '17's. I know @someguy (and others) has great comments to say about this brand.

Here's what snapped my head around to have another look: 90,000 mile tread wear warranty. What? Really? I read it, AGAIN. Ninety-thousand miles!!!! Priced at $124 per (plus M&B) with $60 rebate on a set of four.

Someone convince me that I should NOT buy these and sell my 17" Nexen's to a kid next door for $100-120/set. Don't get me wrong, the Nexen's are GREAT.

Maybe the entire scenario caught me at a vulnerable and weak moment, or the right time, but the "bang-for-the-buck" seemed like a really great purchase. To me, anyway. :unsure:

Guess I need to look at their customer reviews. Two items: softness of ride, and road noise.

At first I thought Nick wrote this...I took another look. I read @someguy review of his purchase too. I would jump on that deal in a heartbeat! As a whole, I absolutely love Pirelli tires. I haven't owned the exact model in question. A few of my friends have however, and they rave about them. Like you said, the warranty is amazing. You know you can trust a brand a little more when they believe in their product for 90,000.

Replacing OEM tires aren't the highest priority on my list unless I have issues with them. After I decide to buy tires, I'm going with the Pirelli brand.

ANOTHER trip is planned to Sam's. Per the website, the Pirelli offers a 65k mileage warranty. Either I misread it, or the sign printer mislabeled it. Who out there is laying money on me? I didn't think so. :eek:
@acebmxer: I saw one of those Pirelli tires (P7's?...something) had a rating of 700 A A on the wear specs. Now, as you were saying about "hard vs soft" rubber compounds? ;)
 
#28 · (Edited)
Here's the Sams revisit: Pirilli P4 Four Seasons Plus, 90,000 mile Limited Treadsear Warranty. Rating: 760 A B (760? Yeah, I would think "Hard compound)

Who bet against me, besides myself? Hmpf...no self-confidence! :)

The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test track. A tire graded 200 would last twice as long on the government test course under specified test conditions as one graded 100. In theory, this means that a tire with a 200 grade will wear twice as long as a tire with a 100 grade. However, tire manufacturers are not under any obligation to grade a tire based on the test results, except to say that they can not overstate the grade. This is enforced by NHTSA requiring documentation to justify any assignment of a grade on a tire These treadwear grades are no guarantee of actual tire mileage; differences in driving habits, service practices, climate, and road characteristics will affect a tire's longevity.

As Course Monitoring Tires have changed, their treadwear grades have changed to numbers considerably higher than 100. As a result, it would be incorrect to say that a tire with a treadwear grade of 200 gets twice the life of the Course Monitoring Tire.

There's a delicate balance between "softness" of ride, and "wearability" of the tread. Finding the right combo is a daunting task. As soon as you begin to look at the consumer reviews on the multitude of offerings, you begin to realize "this might take a while...:eek:"

Once you "think" you have it figured out, then the endless search for best price, rebates, mounting, balancing, shipping, hazard warranties, general warranties, Holy Cow! :hyper: Someone stop this merry-go-round! :grin:

Pulled the trigger on the Pirelli P4, Four Seasons Plus. 90,000 mile treadwear warranty. Mounting, balancing, lifetime road hazard, lifetime balancing, rotations and nitrogen-fill/top-offs. Everything EXCEPT, blueprinting, indexing, boring, stroking, porting or polishing. Tax incl. OTD: $461.00.

Could have done the install today but it's Sunday. No lap dances in the back room on the Sabbath. The girls are off.

So, appointment is for Wednesday 8AM, with 59 minute install guarantee. Should be enough to work in a few dances while waiting.

Nexen's prolly going to a kid down the street. I'm a "good neighbor," better than State Farm, anyway. :grin2:

It's no one's fault but @someguy. He (and other's) put this Pirelli bug in my ear in 2011. But due to my hardheadedness (wife's analogy, not mine) :grin: , it took the bug a bit longer to work through all the cobwebs.

Hmmmm.... I have Nexen CP671s on the front of my 2013 Sonata Ltd.
Came on the car, along with well-worn Kumho Solus on the rear.


Funny thing: No reviews or ratings on Tire Rack for the Nexens. Odd.


Was planning to put a round of Conti-Pure-Contacts on the Sonata
until I got tired of supplying Caster via the steering wheel. Rated
quieter than the Pro-Contact.
 
#37 · (Edited)
K_Man...I've owned two sets of ContiPro Contacts. They grip pretty well, but the are the noisiest tires I have ever had on a set of rims. Felt EVERY expansin joint on a concrete road surface. Due to the 45R sidewalls, no doubt. Happy days when I said goodbye to them.


I'm staying with 225/**R/17's but going to a 50R instead of the 45R. More sidewall flex, translates to "smoother ride," I'm hoping. That theory worked well on the Bridgestone Turanza Serinity Plus' I bought for the 2013. Of course, after the ProContacts, riding in a Burlington RR box car may have been a relief.


The Nexen NPriz AH8 is pretty new and listed as an OEM tire. Not sure it's available as an aftermarket item. But the thing is soft and it is quiet. I'll give it that. Not had one second of issues with either of the four on the car.

BONUS: My tire store offers a 59 minute guarantee on new tire installs. They even go so far as to offer a countdown timer within their app.

Oops! Got 'em. After the $59 mount/balance install price was deducted, I signed the sales receipt and was out the door for $397.67. BANG!

The tech had asked if I wanted my alignment checked. I said, "Sure, why not?" Their alignment guy came in about 15 minutes later. Since the car is so new, they didn't have the newest equipment to do any 2017's, yet. At 12,228, I seriously doubt they would've found anything, anyway. LOL The handling is terrific.

I guess this brings LKA into the conversation. Since it keeps you within the lines above a certain speed, how would you know if the front end was drifting? ;)

I know, I know, turn off LKA for checking. But it does make you think!

I was asking myself the same question :)

It's only been 30 miles, so far. I have noticed the steering, already great, takes no effort at all. The LKA is doing well, also.

Checked my pressures at home from the store. Rears were 37.5. Fronts were 33.5. All 4 now set at 34. TPMS concurs.

Ride? No worse than Nexen's, possibly a fraction better. May be a result of more flex in the 50's vs 45's sidewall profile. They appear to glide on the surface. Noise? Possibly a bit quieter. Possibly. And that's saying something. The Nexen's are great in both categories. Again, the steering could be handled with ease by my 21 month old great-grandson!

But it's early. Need a couple hundred (or one thousand) miles under them for more observation. Stayed tuned.

It's a touring tire and they ride as good as or better than the Bfidgestone Turanza Affinity plus tires I had on the 2013.

I believe my speedo is around 1 mph off. Used to be spot-on. Need to find a radar unit on the highway to get some idea of how much.

Found this. A big help: https://tiresize.com/speedometer-calibration/

There are a few out there. One on a Miata club has been around since the net began...almost.

I found these helpful as well.

When flying used a Gallet chronograph for ground speed, most the the USA is laid out in square mile segments, 640 acres per square mile with four 160 acre farms. So the roads were exactly a mile apart, but had to fly either N/S or E/W.

Has a scale on the watch like this one, crude, lacking the increments but gives the idea.



Buttons on the watch would set the sweep second hand to 12 o'clock, the other would start that hand and stop it, looking at the wingtip from road to road 5 seconds, 720 mph, 15 seconds, 240 mph, 30 seconds, 120 mph and so forth.

Basically, what its doing is showing 3,600/seconds to give you mph. On the interstate, same thing can be done in any directional using the mile post and any stop watch would work. For greater accuracy, can do a ten mile run.

But this is practically history today, just get a GPS and compare it's speed with your indicated speedometer speed.

Ha, when flying back then, alone, really had your work cut out for you, lots of math, heading, calculating ground speed, ETA, the flying the plane itself, switching tanks, watching your EGT, mixture, switching tanks for weight and balance. GPS really helped, gives you the heading, tells you exactly where you are, exact time of arrival, in another sense, laid off a whole bunch of navigators.


GPS really spoiled me in even making trips, shows the fastest or shortest routes, use to add up the mileage between those red dots on a map. But I also like to switch it off when it says 366 miles to the next turn.
