What wheels are on Hyundai: popular commercial and passenger vehicles

Hyundai, which has been producing cars since 1972, is today one of the mastodons of the global automobile industry, selling about 2 million units of passenger and commercial vehicles a year.

It not only owns a number of large factories in South Korea, but also has several subsidiaries on different continents (including Russia) that assemble the most popular models.

Thanks to their high build quality and excellent technical characteristics, they have long established themselves in our market and have won the love of the Russian consumer. What is the secret of their popularity, and what kind of wheels are used on Hyundai of various modifications?

Truck tire pressure

Publication date: 08/12/2020

Truck tire pressure is an important parameter that has a significant impact on the performance characteristics of the vehicle. It mainly affects ride comfort, tire service life, fuel efficiency, braking distance and vehicle stability.

Factors affecting tire pressure

This indicator is significantly influenced by the time of year. When the temperature rises to +20 °C, it increases by 0.7 bar, and when it drops to -20 °C, it drops by 0.6-0.8 bar. When vehicles are heavily loaded and during long trips, the changes in indicators will be greater.

During constant use, it is recommended to monitor the tire pressure of a truck using sensors 2 times a week. This must be done in cold tires (the tire temperature is equal to the ambient temperature), since during active use the tire warms up, which leads to an increase in performance. When pumping cold tires, follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

Hyundai i30

Hyundai i30 is a compact car designed on the same platform as the Kia Ceed. It has a five-door hatchback or station wagon body, a gasoline or diesel engine and a manual or automatic gearbox. The i30 station wagon is sold in North America under the name Elantra Touring .

Consequences of pressure deviation from normal

Incorrectly adjusted pressure in truck tires leads to unpleasant and sometimes very dangerous consequences.

A decrease in this characteristic below the norm causes:

• Reducing the service life of tires by almost half due to their uneven wear and overheating.
• Significant increase in braking distance. For unloaded vehicles it is extended by 15%, for fully loaded vehicles – by 20%.
• Cord fatigue, leading to the inability to restore the tread pattern.

Negative consequences of pressure exceeding the norm:

• an increase in braking distance due to a reduction in the area of ​​the contact patch between the tire and the road surface;
• uneven tire wear , leading to a reduction in their service life;
• loss of vehicle stability , which is especially felt on truck tractors with a short wheelbase.

Deviations from the nominal value, both upward and downward, lead to increased fuel consumption and decreased travel comfort. Reducing the service life of tires can cause accidents and significantly increases operating costs.

Reviews from owners and drivers

According to the vast majority of people who know the Hyundai HD78 first-hand, this truck is one of the best in its category in terms of price/quality ratio. A successful engine - reliable, not capricious and high-torque (and when necessary, very revvy). True, fuel consumption in urban conditions is slightly higher than the indicators indicated by the manufacturer. But this surprises few people these days. Very easy to control and maneuverable, like a car.

Good load capacity and capacity – 5 tons, 10 pallets. A good margin of safety for all components and parts of the structure. Chassis, suspension, engine, comfort, handling - everything in the Hyundai HD78 is “tailored” for daily intensive work. The car is good for short and medium distances. This is a truck for daily work. For everyday work. It quickly pays for itself and begins to make a profit. There is nothing superfluous, but everything necessary for daily work is present.

The downside is that the seat in its basic version is not very comfortable (“like a stool”); poor cabin sound insulation; its susceptibility to corrosion; problems with springs if you regularly practice fully loading or overloading the machine. Springs and cushions can be reinforced with GAZel sheets.

Interesting reviews from owners who themselves work behind the wheel of purchased new Hyundai HD78:

“Now the mileage is more than 300,000 kilometers. I changed the steering cross, the suspension bearing, the steering ends and the outer bearing of the front hub.”

“Over the entire run, I changed the kingpins, suspension bearing and crosspiece at the bridge at 200 thousand km, replaced the steering tips at 150 thousand km, the heater radiator leaked - replaced it with a VAZ copper-brass one from the eight; the hose on the power steering burst (cracked), the outer bearing of the front hub recently became damaged - nothing else has been repaired yet.”

“I bought a new HD-78, it has already covered almost 170 thousand km, I only changed consumables, i.e. oils, filters, brake fluid, antifreeze and once alternator belts at 150 thousand, although dealers change it after 40 thousand if you put it under warranty . I didn’t put a warranty on it and don’t see the point, the car is quite reliable. So my friend put the 78th under warranty and, as they say, threw away a little over a hundred thousand rubles for this guarantee.”

What pressure should be in truck tires?

Pressure indicators for trucks are divided into three types:

• Maximum. The maximum permissible pressure is specified by the truck tire manufacturer. It is usually applied to the side of the tire. Constantly inflating a tire to this level reduces its wear resistance and increases the likelihood of dangerous situations on the road.
• Optimal. This value is determined from a table that indicates the recommended pressure for a specific amount of cargo being transported. Owners of trucks usually focus on the optimal value: maintaining it ensures a long service life of the tires and economical fuel consumption. It is difficult to adhere to the optimal value, since it requires frequent monitoring and inflation of the tire.
• Recommended. This value is usually indicated by the manufacturer for each wheel. Recommended pressure for truck tires is calculated for maximum load conditions. When transporting cargo whose weight is significantly lower than the maximum permissible values, tires are inflated to a level below the recommended level. Load and speed indices (maximum values ​​of these parameters) are indicated in the tire markings.

Often, the operating instructions indicate two pressure values ​​for truck tires - one for an unloaded vehicle, the second for a vehicle with a maximum load. If one value is indicated, then it is intended for an empty car. For heavy loads or long-distance trips without luggage, it is recommended to inflate the tires by 0.3-0.5 bar.

To independently select the pressure level in a truck tire, you should:

• Take a table with optimal values ​​for a certain vehicle load.
• Select a value taking into account the axis on which the wheel is located.
• Read the manufacturer's individual recommendations.

Hyundai HD78 truck engine

The HD78 is equipped with a high-torque 4-cylinder diesel engine produced by Hyundai, model D4DB. The engine is equipped with a turbocharger and an intermediate equipment system. The power of this power unit is 140 horsepower (in the updated version - 150 hp) and a working volume of 3,907 liters. Unlike most similar motors in this class, D4DB has a very wide operating range. It not only pulls well at the bottom, but also revs dynamically up to 3 thousand rpm. Another advantage of this diesel engine is that it is not stuffed with complex electronic systems, and this makes routine repairs much easier and faster. In general, access to the engine is very well thought out, in particular to its most frequently serviced components.

The power unit on cars of earlier years of production complied with Euro-3 environmental standards. Now this is Euro-4, the Common Rail electronic injection control system. Both the previous and updated versions of the engine are capable of accelerating the truck to 120 km/h. Diesel fuel consumption in the urban cycle is at the level of 15-18 liters per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity is 100 liters. The maximum engine torque is 372 N*m (at 1400 rpm)

Commercial machines

Hyundai Motor has always been true to its name (translated as “Modernity”), its team initially tried to use not only its own new developments in creating models, but also did not hesitate to adopt the experience of its partners if it deserved attention and contributed to improving the quality of cars and growth their sales.

The product line of this company includes not only passenger cars of all categories, but also various types of trucks: from the heavy Xcient series to light-duty trucks like the HD78, which, among other Hyundai vehicles, turned out to be the hero of our publication.

In addition, under the Hyundai brand, Universe buses, vans and minibuses run on all highways of the world, which are also intensively used by large and small organizations, entrepreneurs and farmers.

We present to your attention the two most common options in Russian spaces:

Truck HD78

HD78 belongs to the category of light-duty (up to 5 tons) trucks intended for urban or intraregional driving. It has a universal chassis, on the platform of which a variety of add-ons can be installed, depending on the purpose of the vehicle.

These include manufactured goods, bread, insulated and refrigerated vans, on-board platforms with a manipulator or tow truck. Trucks intended for the Russian market are assembled in Kaliningrad.

Hyundai evaluates our road realities in the “operation in difficult conditions” category, therefore reinforcement is provided for the vehicle chassis.

For example, in addition to traditional leaf springs, there are also springs at the rear with double-action shock absorbers, which are also equipped with the front suspension. The brake discs also have an increased area.

Wheel formula: 4x2 - that is, there are 4 twin wheels at the back, and 2 single wheels at the front. Considering that in addition to bad roads in Russia there is also snow and frost, adapting the truck to difficult operating conditions includes a fuel filtration and heating unit before starting the engine.

What wheels are on the Hyundai hd 78:

Wheels on trucks are always steel, in this case they are 16-inch in size with six bolt holes. The factory equipped tire is 12-ply, with a 7.5-inch (190mm) wide profile.

In the first configuration, the HD78 has the Korean Kumho or Hankuk tires, and it would be strange if it were different.

But if you need to change tires, in stores you can see only two or three models from Goodyear (Duramax, Cargo), a couple of models from Michelin (Agilis, Latitude Cross), and BFGoodrich Mud Terrain T/A, which is the best choice if you need to drive on off-road.

The Chinese also have a good selection.

Note: Russian manufacturers in this size mainly offer tires for special equipment, which, due to the specific characteristics of the tread, are not suitable for this truck.

Minibus Grand Starex

This machine is a commercial minivan and has a fairly wide range of applications. The 11-seater minibus, which has a very decent appearance, is characterized by high engine power, excellent handling and visibility. It can be seen both on city streets and intercity highways.

The car appeared back in 1987, when it was still manufactured under license from Mitsubishi and was called the Hyundai H-100. In those years, it did not gain much popularity, but everything changed after the appearance of a new version in 1996, which was put into production at one of the subordinate factories in Southeast Asia.

These were two variants of wheelbases (short and long): cargo vans with three and six seats, with a solid and glazed luggage compartment, as well as modifications with passenger bodies for 7; 9 and 12 places.

Bus-type models had either 2 or 3 rows of comfortable seats, and the manufacturer also did not forget about the comfort of the driver’s seat.

A few years later (in 2000), the Hyundai Grand Starex experienced its first restyling, which mainly affected the design and range of engines. Another 4 years passed - and again there were changes that primarily added to the car’s visual appeal.

The chassis was also reformed: now instead of rear-wheel drive, there was a full one - that is, the front axle, if necessary, could simply be connected to work.

In the new generation, the debut of Starex (in Russia it is called H-1) with the official prefix to the name “Grand” took place in Seoul in 2007.

Externally, it was radically different from its predecessor: instead of one sliding door, two appeared, both the body and the interior were enlarged, and the “facade” began to look very presentable. The engine size remained the same, but its power increased.

Note: For representatives of the VIP class, based on the classic Starex, a limousine with a high roof and luxurious interior trim is offered, in which you can walk freely.

What are the wheels on a Hyundai Grand Starex?

Wheels and tires

• Since wheel bolts are divided into left-hand and right-hand, make sure not to confuse them with each other when removing vehicle wheels when performing repair work. Right-hand bolts and nuts are marked “R”, and left-hand bolts and nuts are marked “L”.
• Wheels made of steel or light alloys must be replaced with new ones if damage is detected. Do not use different types of rims.
• If you want to replace the wheel rim with a different type of rim, you must also replace the hub studs and wheel nuts.

1. Measure the air pressure in the tire. If necessary, adjust pressure to specification.

2. Measure the tire tread height. Minimum permissible tread height: 1.6 mm.

• If the tread depth is less than 1.6 mm, the tire wear indicator appears.
• If there is uneven or abnormal wear on a tire, even if the wear indicator does not appear, the tire must be replaced with a new one.

Hyundai Getz

Hyundai Getz is a minicar produced in 2002-2011. After restyling in 2005 and reducing the cost by eliminating some options and using less expensive interior materials, the model was called Gets II.

Hyundai Getz was equipped with gasoline engines:

• 1.0 liter SOHC;
• 1.3 liter SOHC (before 2005):
• 1.4 liter DOHC;
• 1.6 liter DOHC;

as well as a one and a half liter CRDi diesel engine.
