Notes from the handbooks
- 215/65 R17 103V: Printed psi (kPa): normal 35 (240) front and rear; maximum load 35 (240) front, 40 (275) rear. Load index/speed symbol from p.2-19. The MY25 (facelift) handbook prints the same figures, in psi (kPa) as kPa (psi).
- 215/65 R17 103V: Printed bar (kPa, psi): normal 2.4 (240, 35) front and rear; maximum load 2.4 (240, 35) front, 2.75 (275, 40) rear. The facelift Hybrid/Plug-in Hybrid handbook prints the same figures as kPa (psi).
- 235/55 R18 104V: Printed psi (kPa): normal 35 (240) front and rear; maximum load 35 (240) front, 40 (275) rear. The MY25 (facelift) handbook prints the same figures, in psi (kPa) as kPa (psi).
- 235/55 R18 104V: Printed kPa (psi): normal 240 (35) front and rear; maximum load 240 (35) front, 275 (40) rear. This size is printed in the facelift Hybrid/Plug-in Hybrid handbook but not in the earlier Hybrid handbook.
- 235/50 R19 103V: Printed psi (kPa): normal 35 (240) front and rear; maximum load 35 (240) front, 40 (275) rear. The MY25 (facelift) handbook prints the same figures, in psi (kPa) as kPa (psi).
- 235/50 R19 103V: Printed bar (kPa, psi): normal 2.4 (240, 35) front and rear; maximum load 2.4 (240, 35) front, 2.75 (275, 40) rear. The facelift Hybrid/Plug-in Hybrid handbook prints the same figures as kPa (psi).
What the handbooks don't say
- The pre-facelift Hybrid/Plug-in Hybrid handbook does not list 235/55 R18; the facelift one does.

Notes from the handbooks
- 215/70 R16 100H: Printed bar (kPa, psi). Maximum-load rear is printed 'For Europe: 2.75 (275, 40)' / 'Except Europe: 2.4 (240, 35)' - the Europe figure is recorded. Load index/speed symbol from the 'Load and speed capacity tires (for Europe)' table.
- 225/60 R17 99H or 99V: Printed bar (kPa, psi). Maximum-load rear is printed 'For Europe: 2.75 (275, 40)' / 'Except Europe: 2.4 (240, 35)' - the Europe figure is recorded. Load table lists 225/60 R17 at LI 99 with speed symbol H or V.
- 225/55 R18 98V: Printed bar (kPa, psi). Maximum-load rear is printed 'For Europe: 2.75 (275, 40)' / 'Except Europe: 2.4 (240, 35)' - the Europe figure is recorded.
- 245/45 R19 98W: Printed bar (kPa, psi). Maximum-load rear is printed 'For Europe: 2.75 (275, 40)' / 'Except Europe: 2.4 (240, 35)' - the Europe figure is recorded.
What the handbooks don't say
- Only the 2018-2020 facelift handbook was read; the 2015-2018 figures are assumed to match but were not verified.
Figures marked "Maker's handbook" link to the maker's own document. "Reported" figures are the maker's, read from a copy we could not get from the maker directly. A figure marked ≈ has been converted from the unit the handbook prints. Nothing here has been checked against your car: if it disagrees with the label on the car, the label wins.

Tyre pressure questions
What tyre pressure should a Hyundai Tucson have?
It depends on the tyre size and, on some versions, the engine. For the sizes Hyundai lists, the normal-load pressure is 35 psi (2.4 bar) at the front and 35 psi (2.4 bar) at the rear. Find your size in the tables above, and check the tyres cold.
What size tyres does a Hyundai Tucson take?
Hyundai fitted the Tucson with 215/70 R16, 215/65 R17, 225/60 R17, 225/55 R18, 235/55 R18, 235/50 R19 and 245/45 R19, depending on the generation and trim. The size is printed on the side of your tyre; the pressures above are listed by size.
Where is the tyre pressure label on a Hyundai Tucson?
On most cars it is on the driver's door pillar or inside the fuel filler flap. It normally gives the same figures as the handbook, which is where the ones on this page come from — if the two ever disagree, go by the label on your car.
When should I use the fully laden pressures?
When the car is carrying a full load — every seat taken, a full boot or a trailer. For everyday driving use the normal figures.
