Vehicle model
Hyundai Tucson
The Tucson is Hyundai's compact SUV, launched in 2004 as a smaller, more affordable alternative to the Santa Fe. Very popular, it is aimed at individuals and families looking for a versatile, economical vehicle that is easy to drive both daily and in the city. Over four generations, it has gained considerably in style, space and technology, with its fourth generation adopting a bold design and an electrified lineup. The Tucson is notably assembled at Hyundai's Alabama plant. It offers gasoline, hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions, as well as HTRAC all-wheel drive, which is particularly useful on Quebec's winter roads. With wheels often ranging from 17 to 19 inches depending on the trim, it is recommended to invest in a properly sized set of winter tires to ensure traction and safety during Quebec's long cold season.

Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
La gamme Hyundai au Québec couvre des berlines compactes (Elantra), intermédiaires (Sonata), des VUS compacts à intermédiaires (Tucson, Santa Fe) et des électriques (IONIQ 5). Les diamètres de jantes vont généralement d'environ 15-16 pouces sur les berlines d'entrée jusqu'à 18-20 pouces sur les VUS et modèles électriques mieux équipés. L'entraxe (bolt pattern) le plus fréquent sur les modèles récents est de type 5 trous, à confirmer selon le modèle et l'année. Au Québec, les pneus d'hiver sont obligatoires de décembre à mars : un second train monté sur des jantes en acier de diamètre adapté est souvent le choix le plus économique et pratique. Vérifiez toujours dimension exacte, indices de charge et de vitesse au moment de l'achat.
