Want the best acceleration, control, comfort and mileage from your Hyundai car? The answer may be simply maintaining the correct tyre pressure! Here’s a detailed look at the recommended tyre pressures for all 13 Hyundai models currently on sale in India.
1. Hyundai Alcazar tyre pressure
The diesel variants of the new Hyundai Alcazar get a sealant-type tyre puncture repair kit, which they call a ‘Tyre mobility kit’, instead of a spare tyre. Removing the spare tyre and omitting the panoramic sunroof is part of a weight-saving measure to improve the SUV’s mileage.

9. Hyundai Tucson tyre pressure
The Hyundai Tucson is the only model in the company’s lineup to get a full-sized 18-inch alloy wheel as a spare. However, space is compromised due to the drivetrain parts in the diesel AWD variant, so a space-saver steel wheel is offered instead. For the space-saver spare wheel in the Tucson, Hyundai recommends maintaining an extremely high pressure of 60 psi.

Hyundai tyre mobility kit - How to use it
The tyre mobility kit is, in essence, a sealant-type puncture repair kit offered in Hyundai cars, which consists of the following:
- A 12v air compressor with a sealant bottle housing. It has an analogue gauge and a button to reduce tyre pressure manually.
- A tyre sealant bottle - this contains a sticky liquid which can fill small puncture holes and seal them up quickly
- Air hose
- Speed limit label
How to use the Hyundai tyre mobility kit in case of a minor puncture:
- Shake the sealant bottle before using it so that the sealant liquid is mixed properly
- Place the sealant bottle in the specially designed housing on the compressor unit. It should be kept upright during operation.
- Connect the yellow-coloured nozzle of the air hose to the sealant bottle. The clip secures it when it clicks into place.
- Screw the other end of the air hose to the tyre valve
- The power switch on the compressor should be in the off position before connecting it to any of the 12v sockets of the car
- The compressor should be used only when the car’s engine/electrical systems are completely switched on
- Switch the compressor on and let it run till the recommended tyre pressure is achieved. This could take up to seven minutes.
- Hyundai recommends running the air compressor continuously for only seven minutes; otherwise, it will overheat and may be damaged.
- After disconnecting the tyre mobility kit and securely placing it back in its packaging, drive below the recommended speed mentioned on the speed limit label. The speed limit warning label is a sticker that can be stuck to the centre of the steering wheel, on the driver's side inside the front windshield, or the driver's side sunshade as a reminder. Exceeding this speed limit can lead to instability, loss of traction and increased braking distances.
- It is recommended to call roadside assistance if: a) puncture holes are larger than 0.25 inches/6mm in diameter, b) the puncture is on the tyre sidewall, or c) the tyre is losing pressure even after using the tyre mobility kit.
Maintaining the correct pressures in your car’s tyres helps it deliver performance and mileage figures as advertised by the manufacturer. Correctly maintained pressures will also ensure the best comfort and predictable handling characteristics. Improperly filled tyres can increase costs due to lower mileage and wear and tear; keep them properly inflated and see your savings increase too!

Q. Are there different pressures recommended for the front and rear tyres?
Some Hyundai cars have different recommended tyre pressures for the front and rear tyres. The tyre pressures can also change according to the number of occupants and luggage on board.
Q. How to reset the tyre pressure monitor on a Hyundai car?
Some Hyundai cars are offered with TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System), which can show incorrect values occasionally. To reset the values: 1) switch to the tyre pressure monitoring screen using the mode button on the steering wheel, 2) long press the OK button till a message is shown or the numbers start blinking, 3) drive for around 10 minutes for the sensors to reset and display the new pressure readings.
Q. What to do when the tyre pressure warning light illuminates in a Hyundai car?
The tyre pressure warning light illuminates when one or more of your Hyundai cars' tyre pressures are lower than 25% of the recommended pressure. You should find a safe place to pull over and stop immediately to check the problem.
