Sonata tires - our picks
Recommendation #1 - Bridgestone DriveGuard
The Bridgestone DriveGuard is a touring tire that is suited for all trim levels of the Sonata. Designed with the comfort and quality of a strong touring tire, the Driveguard is also engineered with run-flat capability. This means that you will be able to drive briefly on a flat tire in the case of an emergency. Bridgestone has ensured the strongest safety measures for run-flat capability by incorporating a Nano-Pro tech rubber insert on each tire.
The DriveGuard also provides strong all-season traction in wet and dry conditions through a silica-enhanced compound and an optimized contact footprint to promote proper weight distribution throughout the life of the tire. With a 60,000-mile warranty, a set of these tires will keep you protected on the road at a great value.
Recommendation #2 - Toyo Tire Extensa HP II
For a highly performing all-season tire that doesn’t sacrifice tread life, look no further than the Toyo Tire Extensa HP II. Featuring a silica-enhanced compound, this tire maintains a strong tread life by resisting uneven treadwear in wet and dry conditions.
The Extensa HP II also has wide shoulder blocks, full-depth multi-wave sipes and optimized block stiffness for responsive handling, forward traction and better braking performance overall. Backed by a 45,000-mile warranty, this tire is suited for the SEL Plus and the Limited trim levels of the Sonata.
Recommendation #3 - Falken Sincera SN250 A/S
The Falken Sincera SN250 A/S is a touring tire suited for all trim levels of the Sonata. With reliable all-season traction and extended tread life, it makes perfect sense why its on our list. Using Falken’s very own proprietary Dynamic Range Technology and Tension Control Technology, the Sincera SN250 A/S delivers on a smooth performance in wet and dry temperatures.
These tires also feature 3D Canyon Sipes for better grip and even treadwear in light winter conditions, making this a true all-season tire. Backed by a 75,000-mile to 80,000-mile warranty (depending on the speed rating), you’ll no doubt be getting the best value from a set of these Falkens.
