Tire sizes

40

Asked by GuruSF5RD Jun 17, 2019 at 02:24 PM about the 2012 Hyundai Veracruz Limited AWD

Question type: General

Can I swap out the tires of a Hyundai Veracruz from 245/60/r18 to  
p245/65/r17. I have an old 08 GS Veracruz that I am junking but it has good
tires on it where as the 12 Limited's tires are not as good. What would change
with the change in aspect ratio and radial? Anything else I should know?
Thanks for any help you an offer!

Thanks for your answer. I had just put new ball bearings brakes and tires (rear) on a 08 Veracruze spending over 1K when I got on the highway and warning lights came on and I lost power steering (all at the same time). Had it towed to the shop-mechanic said it probably needed new engine. The car had been great and didn't have a ton of $ to put into a new one so I bought another used Veracruz. Although the 08 is in great shape, nobody wants to buy a car needing a new engine-resale value is not there to interest a mechanic. So, I figured I'd retain the tires, wheels and related stuff because I have already put a lot of miles on the new (for me) Veracruz Limited '12. But then I noticed the difference in size of the tires-thus my question. Thanks for taking the time to answer.
