In this video, I will show you how to measure your tire clearance to the fenders to find the biggest tires that will fit your car. Installing a lift kit can increase tire clearance, but will make the handling and gas mileage worse.

Whew! For a while there, I thought the RAV4 was gone! Great video as always, Paul! I learned some new things about tires/wheels.

I just bought a new set of 17" rims and 225/60/R17 Michelin X Ice tires for my 2018 Tucson Limited for winter driving, the size is an exact match for the 19" rim and tire combo. The cost was about $1000 all together.

Thanks for all of this. I’m considering wider tires for my 2017 and came across this. You went through a lot. Looks like I’ll be sticking with the original rims and just get some Michelin cross-climates’ & use my Konig/Thule chains for the snow…

I also have a 2017 tucson - came with 245/45/19 and i am looking to put 235/70/16 on it -- i know someone who did this and had no rubbing issues whatsoever- I was wondering if the measurements you did with the cardboard strips would be different because my rim is 16 inches and not 17 (as you had on the hubs)

did 245/50 19's Cross Climate 2, nice sidewall and 3 mountain peak rating

Very informative video there! I still got my tema 4x4 kit and ko2s on. Not aggressive like the Sema ones so I dont have fear of rubbing and my handling isnt really effected also in my opinion since its only 30mm and not like 4+inches (and insane offset) Just a better stance which I like. My Tucson looks great going to Target and the mall lol. Keep up the good work, the rav4 looks great!

you shouldve went with 235/65/17 then?

Great video! How have the 225/65r17 Toyos held up? I've got a '21 SEL AWD and am considering the same tires and size for mine. Would the tires still be tame enough as for a daily driver? Your Tucson looks awesome!

@LabCoatPaul 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks! The Toyo tires are great. They do make a little bit of noise on the highway, but the Tucson is smooth and quiet anyway. Getting rid of the low profile tires definitely improved ride quality. I don't drive my car very much, so I don't know how fast the tires wear, but I'm expecting the tires to last 60,000 miles.

Amy rubbing with tires, I have a 2017 tucson se with the 2.0 and stock 225 60 17, wanting a bigger tire and ran across your video, discount tire is recommending 235 65 17.

@sedalespencer69 2 жыл бұрын

I had a similar problem. But, why didn't you go 235/65r17? I installed it with no issues at all

@LabCoatPaul 2 жыл бұрын

I originally wanted BFG All Terrains, but I think they didn't make them in that size. The Toyo Open Country's are great tires. They make a little bit of noise, but the Tucson is a very quiet car so it's barely noticeable. Traction is great, and the ride quality is much better than the old low profile tires. No regrets.

You took of you your wheel space measurements sitting still not factoring in suspension movement during driving and sudden braking. There is reason why it's not suggested you go much larger than stock.

Hi Paul, so I would be able to change from 245/45/R19 to a 235/50/R19 or 245/50/R19 and be clear if i keep the the same wheel?

@LabCoatPaul 3 жыл бұрын

I don't know for sure, but both those sizes are pretty close to original, so you should be OK.

I have a kia sportage 2017 do you think a 235 65 17 will fit all terrain? Is 28 and 1/4...

@LabCoatPaul 4 жыл бұрын

No. According to tiresize.com a 235/65 17 is 29" in diameter. Based on my measurements, that tire will probably rub on your fenders. Even if they don't, your clearance will be very small and if you get any snow stuck to your tires, you could still damage the fender liners.

@cheguevara5511 4 жыл бұрын

Ok. But in reality they are only 28 1/4 will they fit? Thanks...

Hey, I've got the 2017 Sportage SX and installed 245/65/17 and no problems. No lift installed yet either. There is minimal rubbing at full turn of the wheel when getting out of a parking spot. Really happy with them!

@LabCoatPaul 2 жыл бұрын

I wanted to buy a truck, but you can't get a truck in good condition with low mileage for $20,000. That's how much I spent on the Hyundai with only 23K miles. It's basically a new car. $20K gets you a beat up old POS truck. I already have a beat up old Toyota RAV4. I don't need more shitty vehicles and I don't have $40K for a good truck.

@Powertourg 3 жыл бұрын

This was completely unnecessary and a waste of my time. Why complicate things to the nth degree? You do realize that you have a turbocharged compact SUV, right? Those 19" wheels only come with lower profile tires for better handling and fuel efficiency in highway/city conditions since the car was designed primarily as a highway/city vehicle. Also, why get such an aggressive All Terrain tire if it's a "groceries getter" at the end of the day? At most, a simple stud-less snow tire would have done the trick and at a fraction of the price you paid, without all of these unnecessary complications. You completely missed the boat on this one, but then again, you said you weren't very smart.

@LabCoatPaul 3 жыл бұрын

Well, yeah I discovered you can't actually put bigger tires on the Hyundai Tucson. This video is still useful for some people because it does show a couple techniques for measuring tire clearance, as well as teaching people about wheel measurements and specifications. A year later, I still like my all terrain tires. The car never slides in the snow or rain, and the ride quality is better. So, No Regerts.

@Powertourg 3 жыл бұрын

@@LabCoatPaul That car would never slide with regular snow tires, regardless, since it also has AWD. Why go through all of this unnecessary trouble? There is no practical need to increase the size of the stock tires, let alone completely switch to an ALL TERRAIN tread for groceries lol. But to each his own I guess.

@gamaman545 3 жыл бұрын

Lab Coat Paul thanks for info, I’ll probably do this to my Tucson. I don’t go off-road to much with my FWD but it will feel much better not slipping on gravel with regular road tires, the times I go “off-road” with my grocery getter. Keep up the vids 🏎
