At this heat, the soft rubber of snow tires that gives you the extra grip you need during slick winter driving conditions becomes susceptible to rapid wear and even shredding. If you continue to drive with your winter tires, not only will it reduce your performance and handling, but it will also prematurely wear down your investment. The modern winter tire has replaced what was traditionally known as the "snow tire." It's mostly a difference in the terms used by tire companies—as many people still use the term "snow tires"—but there are some important differences. Two factors, tread pattern and the tire compounds used in the production of tires, determine how well a tire grips the road. In the old days, snow tires had very aggressive treads, which worked well to cut through snow but did little for ice.
The modern winter tire is made to grip both snow and ice in the winter. Softer rubber compounds help winter tires stay supple as temperatures drop and get more traction on ice, whereas old snow tires will become brittle just like modern all-seasons. What's the lesson in this? If you think that winter tires aren't worth their weight, then maybe you haven't had a chance to try a modern winter tire.

I bought a new 2013 Hyundai Elantra from a Westbrook Maine dealer in August. It came with Optimo H426 tires. Had I known how bad they are in the snow, I never would have bought the car since I can't afford new tires. Two days ago I slid into a snow bank getting into my driveway and cracked the front bumper and knocked the passenger fog light inward. I've had the car less than 6 months and am now faced with a repair bill. My driveway doesn't have much of an incline and my Pontiac Sunfire never behaved so poorly, even with its OEM ties that I replaced after 2 winters. With today's high tech materials, there is no need for a bumper that weak to be put on new cars, and what kind of company ships cars with OEM tires that can't grip on snow to northern states? I also just learned that it doesn't come with a spare tire, of which the dealer did NOT inform me. The paperwork does say it comes with a puncture repair kit in lieu of a spare tire. That's a lot of not good enough for 20K. But in good driving conditions, the car handles well.
And I liked the vehicle a lot until the snow came. shanepb: I bought the 2013 Elantra Ltd. not long ago. I'm in the South (having moved from the North) where we get snow and one inch shuts things down here. The tires are the same as yours and they are bad. I'm on a limited income but due to the bad tires (and I hate to tell you but you better check your battery*) I'm sure the tread life will wear soon and I will replace the junk tires with something of substance. An *Interstate battery is in mine and I have no idea why I asked but it was a two-year battery. Interstate was the lowest rated battery by Consumer Rpts. some years ago. I had one in my last car and it died early. Most Hyundais (and other cars, too) don't come with a spare. We were fortunate enough to see the Elantra sedan car in a parking lot and were admiring it. The owner was in the car and she gave us a tour. It included no spare - the stupid can is STANDARD (uppercase as that's how it show on the MSRP). The spare came as an extra on my car.
This won't make you feel any better but my spouse also replaced our 2010 RAV4 - it was horrible. The new car he bought has no spare and I said I'll have to find one when finances settle down. We're also in a position where when it snows and the kids ride down the street and packs the snow down, we don't have to go out. The tires scare me. Your dealer should've told you and if you look at the MSRP, it should be clearly written on it. But I don't think salesmen care (it would've been a negative) and just want to push cars out. I don't trust the car, trust the warranty less, and I haven't driven it much. But tomorrow will be a test when we make a 5-6 hour drive. I'm really glad you say the car handles well, though. Good luck to both of us! How about snow tires for a 13' Elantra GT? The size (215/45/17) they require appears to be out of the ordinary and thus expensive. Anyone buy snow tires for this model? Where and how much? litesong2 said:My 2013 Elantra GLS Sedan also has the Hankook P205/55R16 89H tires.
