Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.
How long do tires last on the Hyundai Santa Fe?
Across 12 end of life reviews from Hyundai Santa Fe drivers, a typical set of tires was worn out after 13,000 miles. Half of all worn-out sets lasted between 11,000 miles and 25,000 miles.
Distances are self-reported by drivers whose review marked the set as worn out; figures are medians, so a single unusual report cannot move them.

What Hyundai Santa Fe drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I installed these tires to replace my Goodyear EfficientGrip 2 SUV and was surprised by how good they are. Extremely comfortable; while the Goodyears were a little quieter, the BFGoodrich are quite a bit more comfortable. Dry, wet, and snow grip is more than sufficient.
Compared to stock tires on a 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe these Pirelli Scorpion AS plus 3 tires are night and day better. Because of their solid sure footed feeling on the pavement I remember them initially feeling almost heavier? But more planted and in contact with the road, wet or dry. The tire holds up well when cornering at highway speeds and I just feel more confident in their ability to keep me on the road in most conditions. I have not had the opportunity to test their winter/snow performance as due to the poor performance of the stock tires, I had already invested in a set of Blizzack snow tires and switched off during the winter months, however, the way they handle water, I feel confident they would perform in the top tier of all season tires. I consider my snow tires to be "noisy", not this Pirelli tire which I have put over 30k miles on and the tread looks like I have barely used them. Overall I am very impressed with their performance on this vehicle and this was my first experience with Pirelli. I would not hesitate to recommend them for your Santa Fe in New England weather conditions.
Firstly, these are great tires with excellent grip, making them a solid upgrade from my old PremiumContact 6s. Secondly, they make a noticeable howling noise at low speeds up to 60 km/h. I expected less noise from premium tires, but they probably just need a bit more breaking in.
Tires are mounted on the new Hyundai Santa Fe PHEV. As for the feedback, is hard to tell because Santa Fe is just too big and too heavy to experience any feedback driving iat normal speeds.
In every other aspect the tires exceeded all my expectations. Especially because I've got them for only 180 Chf for a tire

Initially, this was one of the three tires selected for replacement. Initially, some YOKOHAMA tires were installed. They weren't bad, offering good grip and safety, but they weren't suitable for the speed. They were 103V, and the vehicle originally uses 107V. After much consideration at the retailer, I decided to install the FALKEN tires, made in Thailand. Initial handling was a bit odd; they felt unsafe. In the water, they also felt slippery, but they didn't...
...then on the highway at 140 kph, they felt smooth and pleasant, with good grip and quiet. Then, increasing speed to see how they handled corners, 160 kph and 200 kph were great, with smooth and perfect grip. No need to brake before entering the corners, and being able to change lanes while cornering without slowing down. Brilliant grip.
Perfect AquaPlanning. Even in large puddles or pools, there was no sensation of any sudden jumps or movements; it was as if the water was not there. Great again.
I have used HANKOOK (very good but very noisy), TRACMAX (they deform with impacts and present alignment problems), CONTINENTAL (good but they don't last long).
Off-road, the FALKENs feel good. Low noise and normal grip at normal speeds.

11000 miles since being fitted, and both front tires on my 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe are not far off the wear indicators. Would have expected a higher mileage from them, especially as the majority of the vehicles use is motorway driving.
bought a 2022 Hyundai santa fe in March 2022 brand new. has the Kumho crugen 235/60r18 only 26,000 miles on these tires and the treads are now at 3!
These tires are garbage! I do not drive the vehicle alot but i do drive almost every day. makes no sense that these tires,which Kumho refers to as premium tires would wear out so quickly. Kumho tires are inferior and garbage! do not purchase a vehicle with these tires on it. you will be replacing tires quickly. Pay no attention to the fact that these are advertised with a 65,000 mile warranty. does not mean a thing. They might last 25,000 miles if you are lucky.

Like myself, There are multiple online reviews or concerns about these tires. Multiple people have expressed vibration that resolved once all tires were changed. Other cases where two more tires were faulty in the same set. Some hyundai service centers are likely aware of this issue by now.
Good tire for dry and wet handling and braking. Terrible braking and handling on ice. Also extreme premature tire wear. The treadwear warranty is for 105000km but they are already worn out to 2mm after 40000km
