2020 Hyundai Elantra
2020 Elantra cold pressure is 36 psi on 15-inch tires and 33 psi on 16-, 17-, and 18-inch tires. The compact spare is 60 psi. Lug nuts are 79 to 94 lbf-ft.
Difficulty, time, and cost are estimates when this guide gives them. Torque is a cited figure, or it is left off.

Numbers on this page come from the cited source. Match the engine before you use a capacity or a torque. Do not work under a vehicle held only by a jack.

The pressures are the inflation figures in the tires-and-wheels table. There is no trim crosswalk.
| Item | Figure | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| 195/65 R15 | Wheel 6.0J x 15. Front and rear 250 kPa (36 psi) at normal load and at maximum load. | Tires and wheels |
| 205/55 R16 | Wheel 6.5J x 16. Front and rear 230 kPa (33 psi) at normal load and at maximum load. | Tires and wheels |
| 225/45 R17 | Wheel 7.0J x 17. Front and rear 230 kPa (33 psi) at normal load and at maximum load. | Tires and wheels |
| 225/40 R18 | Wheel 7.5J x 18. Front and rear 230 kPa (33 psi) at normal load and at maximum load. | Tires and wheels |
| Compact spare, if equipped | T125/80 D15 on 4.0T x 15, or T125/80 D16 on 4.0T x 16. 420 kPa (60 psi). If there is no compact spare, the car has a tire mobility kit. | Tires and wheels |
| Colder weather | It is permissible to add 3 psi to the standard specification if colder temperatures are expected soon. Tires typically lose 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12 F temperature drop. | Tires and wheels notice |
Each figure stays with the source named in the last column. If a sequence is a figure in that source and the order is not printed in the text, this page does not invent the order.
| Fastener | Torque | Where it comes from |

| Wheel lug nut | 11 to 13 kgf·m (79 to 94 lbf·ft, 107 to 127 N·m) | Tires and wheels |
195/65 R15 is 36 psi front and rear. The 16-, 17-, and 18-inch full-size tires are 33 psi front and rear.
Both spare sizes in the table, T125/80 D15 and T125/80 D16, are 60 psi. A car without a compact spare uses a tire mobility kit instead.
Wheel lug nut torque is 11 to 13 kgf·m (79 to 94 lbf·ft, 107 to 127 N·m).
The manual also prints an altitude inflation note of +2.4 psi per 1 mile. That unit is not used as a procedure on this page. The 3 psi cold-weather allowance is the notice that is applied here.
