2013 Hyundai Veloster and Veloster Turbo will now be offered with new tyre option in the form of Michelin Pilot Super Sport. This option will significantly enhance performance of this hatch from Korean manufacturer Hyundai. These high performance tyres are widely accepted and are specially beneficial for their wet/dry grip abilities, cornering and braking performance while offering a comfortable and smooth ride.
Such is its performance, that Hyundai engineering tests show that skid pad lateral acceleration performance increased from 0.82g with the use of standard Veloster Turbo tyres to 0.94g with the Pilot Super Sport tyres. Braking too was enhanced when decelerating from 60 to 0 mph. Here that was a decrease from 135ft to 121ft with the new tyre while wet braking decreased from 157ft to 136 ft.
Pilot Super Sport tyres are available in sizes of 215/40ZR18 which is best suited for both Veloster and Veloster Turbo as they are fitted with 18" alloy wheels. Customers availing of these new tyre options will have to spend $1,200 in excess while those buyers who have already taken delivery of the Veloster or Veloster Turbo can contact their nearest Hyundai dealers for a change of tyres.
