My 06 Sonata LX has the factory 225/50/17 Michelin tires on it that I will be replacing in the Spring (I run snow tires in winter on 16" rims). I know that for 07, 08, and possibly 09 Sonata's, Hyundai decided to run smaller 215/55/17 tires on this car. There must be a good reason for this. Wondering the reasons and how many of you have also done this with replacement tires. Hopfully one reason is that the ride will improve - that's one of my only beefs about the car. I'll look at the tire recommendation section of this forum but I'm leaning toward the CR rated Falken ZX912's of maybe a few other options. Cost is a concern, snow traction is not since I run the snows.
