Hyundai tyre pressures
Hyundai Santa Fe tyre pressure
The tyre pressures Hyundai prints in its handbook for each Santa Fe tyre size, by generation — Santa Fe Mk5 (MX5) (2023 on), Santa Fe Mk4 (TM) (2018–2024), Santa Fe Mk3 (DM) (2012–2018) and Santa Fe Mk2 (CM) (2006–2012). Find your tyre size on the sidewall, then read across.

What the handbooks don't say

- The facelift Hybrid's compact spare is T135/90 D17 104M, 4.2 (420, 60).

What the handbooks don't say
- The handbook prints no load index or speed symbol.
- One edition read; whether it is the pre- or post-2010 facelift (R-series diesel) edition is not stated on the tyre page.
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 Santa Fe have?
It depends on the tyre size and, on some versions, the engine. For the sizes Hyundai lists, the normal-load pressure is 33–35 psi (2.3–2.4 bar) at the front and 33–35 psi (2.3–2.4 bar) at the rear. Find your size in the tables above, and check the tyres cold.
What size tyres does a Hyundai Santa Fe take?
Hyundai fitted the Santa Fe with 235/65 R17, 235/60 R18, 235/55 R19 and 255/45 R20, 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 Santa Fe?
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.
