Looking for tyres for your Hyundai Tiburon? This page brings together owner reviews, ratings and buying guidance for the tyres Australian Hyundai Tiburon drivers are actually running, so you can compare real-world experience before you commit to a set.

What to look for in Hyundai Tiburon tyres

Sports cars are engineered around a specific tyre, and the factory fitment is usually an ultra-high-performance summer or all-season tyre with a particular construction and compound. Changing to a softer touring tyre in the same size will alter turn-in, steering feel and dry grip in ways that are immediately noticeable from the driver's seat.

Two practical points matter more here than on ordinary cars. First, staggered fitments — a wider rear than front — are common, and both sizes need checking before you buy. Second, high-performance tyres harden with age; a tyre with plenty of tread but a manufacture date several years old will not deliver the grip it did when new. Check the four-digit DOT date code, not just the tread depth.

Hyundai Tiburon tyre sizes and fitment

Before you order, check the placard on your own vehicle rather than relying on the size currently fitted — previous owners change wheels and tyres more often than you would think. The placard gives the original size, the minimum load index and speed rating, and the recommended cold inflation pressures. If your Tiburon has aftermarket wheels, the overall rolling diameter should stay within a few per cent of standard so the speedometer, ABS and stability control continue to read correctly.
