Hyundai Veloster Tires
Introduced in 2011, the Hyundai Veloster is a hatchback sport-compact coupe that’s easily identified by its single door on the driver’s side and two doors on the passenger side. The Veloster is designed for performance as well as practicality, with an optional turbo 2.0L 4-cyl that delivered 168 hp while still registering 28 mpg city-38 mpg highway. Second-generation Velosters kept the same asymmetric body style but featured an overhauled suspension design and driver-assistance package (lane departure alert, automatic emergency braking, driver attention monitor) as standard equipment for all models. The Veloster-N variant is more performance-oriented, with a choice of 8-speed wet-clutch automatic or 6-speed manual and a 275 hp turbo 4-cyl as standard equipment, for a 0-60 time of under six seconds.

A solid center rib is designed for great road feel and steering response, and stable tread blocks in the asymmetric tread pattern all contribute to the PureContact LS’s cornering and steering feedback, earning it a SimpleScore of 9.4 for handling. The PureContact LS’s design also means long tread life too. Cutting-edge technology such as temperature-activated polymers in the tread compound delivers excellent traction, low road noise and long wear (with a 70,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warra
