PSA: 2013 Hyundai Genesis sedan 5.0 sedan harsh ride

I may be late to the game here....but if you own a 2013 Hyundai Genesis Sedan 5.0 and you think it ride like a Honda civic...swap 18's now!






I had the vredestein quatrac pro on my 19's (245/45R19) and thought the ride it so bad compare to my 2009 genesis, I have to do something...was seriously considering trade in car or swapping out with older non-R suspension. I'm glad I went this route first, the ride is MUCH MUCH better now

I went with a Borbet Type Y wheels (tirerack) with the recommend 235/50R18 and it ride a lot better!

I may even consider going 225/55R18 next time when I have to change out tires.

I save 7.25lbs per wheel for a total of 29lbs,

stock 19" wheel is 30lbs each without tires!

Looks good. Let us know how you like those Michelins, I've been considering those. I can't tell by looking at the first picture, is there enough room there between the wheel and the front brake caliper that you could step down to 17" wheels? That would be an even softer ride, and/or you could put winter tires on a cheap set of wheels, in theory. If you could find a set that fits, that is.

they are very smooth, compare to continental DWS06 I have on my 09... the DWS06 have a handling characteristic, these are more comfort than handling.

I would consider 17 if Tirerack offer them, its easier to return if it doesnt fit.

Crossclimate is a great tire. Good in all weather. Smooth quiet ride.
