Hyundai Tucson: Tires and wheels / Radial-ply tires
Radial-ply tires provide improved tread life, road hazard resistance and smoother high speed ride. The radial- ply tires used on this vehicle are of belted construction, and are selected to complement the ride and handling characteristics of your vehicle.
Radial-ply tires have the same load carrying capacity, as bias-ply or bias belted tires of the same size, and use the same recommended inflation pressure. Mixing of radial-ply tires with bias-ply or bias belted tires is not recommended. Any combinations of radial-ply and bias-ply or bias belted tires when used on the same vehicle will seriously deteriorate vehicle handling. The best rule to follow is: Identical pairs of radial-ply tires should always be used as a set for the front tires and a set for the rear tires.
Longer wearing tires can be more susceptible to irregular tread wear. It is very important to follow the tire rotation interval in this chapter to achieve the tread life potential of these tires. Cuts and punctures in radial-ply tires are repairable only in the tread area, because of sidewall flexing. Consult your tire dealer for radial-ply tire repairs.
WARNING
Do not mix bias ply and radial ply tires under any circumstances. This may cause unusual handling characteristics that may cause loss of vehicle control resulting in an accident.
Snow tires
If you equip your car with snow tires, they should be the same size and have
the same load capacity as the original tires. Snow tires should be installed on
all four wheels; otherwise, poor handli ...
Low aspect ratio tires
Low aspect ratio tires, the aspect ratio is lower than 50, are provided for sporty
looks.
Because low aspect ratio tires are optimized for handling and braking, it may
be more uncomfortable to ri ...

Hyundai Tucson (LM) 2010-2015 Owners Manual: Recommended cold tire inflation pressures
All tire pressures (including the spare) should be checked when the tires are
cold. “Cold tires” means the vehicle has not been driven for at least three hours
or driven less than one mile (1.6 km).
Warm tires normally exceed recommended cold tire pressures by 4 to 6 psi (28
to 41 kPa). D ...
