Hyundai Santa Fe (Gen. 2) Thread

For the CRDi VGT owners, diba FWD ang SF, i was thinking, pagpalitin yung front and rear tires since mas napupudpod siguro yung front since sya yung drive and steering.

Whatcha think? Is this a sound idea? Is there anyone who tried this before?

Minsan kasi umiiyak yung gulong pag sharp cornering around 120kmh+ altho i don't lose control, i don't like the sound because i know that's it's a sign that the rubber is not sticking to the road the way i want it to. Is that normal or pudpod na yung gulong? Parang ngayon ko lang kasi napansin ito. 17k Kms na po ang tinakbo ng Hankook DynaPro HP na gulong namen (stock 17").

TIA

Your idea is called tire rotation, do you rotate your tires? You're supposed to do that about every 10,000km so that the tires wear properly between the front and the rear tires.

Redorange: So my idea is okay sir? So I should proceed with it? About tire rotation, i haven't done that before.

Is it just a straight swap? like:

Front Left Tire -> Rear Left Tire
Front Right Tire -> Rear Right Tire

Rear Right Tire -> Front Right Tire
Rear Left Tire -> Front Left Tire.

Yun lang po sir?

TIA

HOrsepower, I think its the opposite sides. FrontLeft goes to RearRight,FrontRight goes RearLeft . Thats if your not considering the sparetire as part of the rotation. Parang nag-ekes yung tires.

I think wala naman problem don. Sa Sorento kasi pwede ekes pero ang ginawa ng kasa,lipat lang rear tires sa harap and yong front tires lipat sa likod pero same side pa din.

nasa manual yung pag rotate ng tires every 10k kms. It will also tell you how to rotate the tires. I rotate my tires excluding the spare tire. Make sure to balance your tires when rotating especially when you do an 'x' rotation. Experience ko kasi kapag nag rotate ako at hindi ko na balance ang tires, nanginginig manibela at high speed which indicates out of balance tires.

Thanks, read the manual when the car was new back in July but must have missed the tire rotating part. hehe

Buti ka pa Centum naayos na SF mo. Mine kasi baka this week pa i-cash settlement ng nakaaksidente. Anyway, nakuha ba yung tri-color shades ng superior red?
