What are the best snow tires for a Hyundai Sonata?
I currently have all-season tires on my 2021 Hyundai Sonata, but I’d like to buy a set of snow tires since road conditions can be poor where I live in the winter. What’s the best kind to buy?

The best snow tires for a
Hyundai Sonata
depend on the driving conditions and your budget—but look for size 205/65R16. Here are some options to consider:
- Falken Espia EPZ II
- Hankook Winter i*Pike RS2
- Firestone Winterforce 2
- Vanguard Arctic Claw WXI
- Bridgestone Blizzak WS90
- Michelin X-Ice Xi3
- Continental VikingContact 7
- Michelin X-Ice Snow
If you’re confused what the difference between all-season, all-weather, and winter tires are, here’s a breakdown for you:
| —— | All-season tires | All-weather tires | Winter tires |
| Weather | Ideal for warm, dry, and wet weather | Best for milder winters with heavy rain and light snowfall | Ideal for harsh winters with heavy snowfall and ice |
| Temperature | Above 7°C | Above and below 7°C | Below 7°C |
| Tread pattern | Finer tread—not ideal for snow and slush | Mix of boxy tread to push away slush and provides greater stability | Blocky tread with fine slits that grip snow and pushes away slush |
| Rubber | Hard and long-lasting | Maintains flexibility above and below 7°C | Maintains flexibility in cold temperatures for enhanced grip |
