Best Tires for the Hyundai Veloster Turbo 1.6 TGDi

These tires are good for normal driving but fall short when you start driving in a more spirited way.

In dry conditions, with traction control off, a spirited launch results in very little wheel spin. In wet conditions there is a minimal amount of wheel spin with traction control on. Icy surface grip is above average, but this is not a dedicated winter tire. Snow grip depends a lot on the depth and type of snow that has fallen. In powdery conditions the tires will slip and lose grip at launch. In wetter snow conditions the tires do much better. My partner, overall, hates the ride of my car because it is a stiffer suspension than in her car, but noticed a marked improvement in ride quality over the previous tires fitted to the car (Nexen) Cornering grip in both dry and wet road conditions is very good. In snow the tires will slide and lose grip if you aren't careful with your speed.

Have these tires since 23000km and 43000km on my Hyundai Veloster (2 tires for each change). Never had any problem on both dry and wet roads. My mileage is now 110000km and the tires still got about 10% (at least) tread remaining. But now after about nearly 80000km and 7 years on average, the tires get a little noisy. This is to be expected due to the rubber hardening. I'm looking forward to another new set of Kinforest 245/40/18 for a more snug look. Pretty much worth in value for money at about 3/5 to 2/5 the price of more "branded" tires.

Good grip even in wet. Great on dry.
If u're looking for a set of grippy sticky semi slicks and have a budget to meet, these are great. However they are noisy and due to higher rolling resistance, does consume more fuel.
