2014 Hyundai Genesis Sedan R-Spec Tires

[Prowler]

I am looking to change out the tires on my 2014 Hyundai Genesis Sedan R-Spec and wanted to know if any 2014 owners have changed tire size from 235-45-19 to 245-45-19 without any problems. I have seen in the forum that it was done with no issues on the 2013 model but could not find any info on 2014. I called Hyundai and all they could say was use 235. I do understand that my speedometer would be off slightly but is there anything else I should know. Thanks in advance for reading and answering!!

Don't know if I made the above post confusing, just looking to see if 245-45-19 will fit in place of 235-45-19.

Go to https://tiresize.com/tires/Hyundai/Genesis/2014/Sedan-5.0-R-Spec/

It will give you the manufacturers recommended size and a list of alternate sizes.

I looked at the spec but it talks just diameter and the 235/45R/19 matches it 265/40R/19 in diameter but is 1.18” (12.8%) wider. Is that too wide? The 245/45R/18 is 1.5% larger by .35 in diameter, .39 in width 1.11 in circum and .18 in sidewall compared to the 235. Will it have the all-around clearance using the 245?

Rspec's OEM rims are 8" wide, comes with 235/45/19 tires from the factory I'm not sure which year it was, but 245/45/19 was an option too, on the same rims.

If you want to go wider than those two sizes, get wider rims.

I would be happy with going 245 just want to make sure they will fit before I purchase them online.

They will fit in, np.
If I were you, I'd go with wider rims, ~9" front 255/40 and 10" rear 275/35

Now you sound like my wife on ways to spend my money on HER car....thanks and I am glad to know 245's will fit. Just much better tire choices for that size.

I like the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 Plus 245/45/19, any opinions?

I have the 245s on my 2013. I got The bfgoodrich g-force comp-2 a/s tires and absolutely love them, great handling tire, awesome in the rain and have a long tread life. Oh, and they're less expensive than the Pilots.

I have a 13 rspec. 245 45 19 was factory tires. Should work on 14

i bought 245/45 bridgestone potenza pole positions 14 months ago. these are a max performance summer tire. great grip and wet weather traction. ( i live in florida) important to have good traction when its wet especially in rainy season. also driving slower/safer in rain helps like we all should.

Ok so the bridgestone potenzas tread is TERRIBLE been about 12k miles in 14 months and i need tires again!!!!

Trying to figure out what to buy in the next week myself. Do i go back to boring touring/ all season tire or a better tread summer tire?

I dont race the car/ auto cross or anything like that. I drive it normal most the time, but do enjoy a hole shot every now and again from a red light.

I haven't put Tires on the 13. But I am a big fan of conti's DW tire. Very long wear rate for a summer tire. I had multiple sets on th 09

I recently replaced the factory Contis on my 2013 R Spec with Pirelli P Zero Nero Plus all seasons in a P245/45-19 size. I have 10k on these tires already and have been very happy with them. They were very highly rated on Tire Rack and I agree with their assessment. Very quiet tire that fit well with the character of the car while still offering excellent rain and dry traction with fair winter performance.

I have 18k miles on the same Pirelli P Zero Nero Plus all seasons in a P245/45-19
Had the alignment, rotate and balance done every 4-5k miles at NTB where I bought the tires.
Separate issue as NTB in McKinney, TX lost my future business
Ok back to the point...these 45,000mile tires dont last. I have 1 at 2/32, 1 at 3/32 and the other 2 are close to 3/32.

I also switched about a year ago to the 245/45/19 Michelin Pilot Sport A/3 on the standard rims with no problem.
Originally had the 235/45/19.

Yes they fit, I run 245-45-19 on my 2012 R-SPEC. There are more tire options in that size and some are less expensive than the Michelins..

What tires do you run?
I have had bad luck with my Pirelli P Zero Nero Plus (need to replace all 4 by 20,000 miles for sure) regular rotate/balance/alignment
