I'm driving a Hyundai i30 1600 with 225/45R17 and had Michelin Pilot Sport 5 on the car, when had to change tires, I chose these Goodyear Eagle Sport 2 UHP ones, and they cost less, and I touched the sidewall and it was soft compared to other tires I've considered. Once installed, I got so surprised, they are SOOO comfort to drive, soft, rolling great. When I had the Michelins, I've inflated the tires with 40 PSI so they'll roll nicely, if I've inflated with 32PSI as Hyundai recommended, the car did not roll... with the Goodyear I'm inflating 32 PSI and the car is rolling, the noise during driving is very low, the dry and wet grip are very good, in few years when I'll need to change tires, I'm back to these for sure !

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Hyundai I30 1.6 petrol Premium drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
185/65 R15 came from Korea with my brand new Hyundai i30CW. After 20000 km you hardly notice any wear. Top marks for the tyres and for the car. Replaced only because my son of 18 wanted sport alloy wheels of 225 45 R17, maximum standard for the car... with Pirelli Zerro Rosso.
I've had these tyres before on my 194Bhp Grande Punto turbo-diesel with 263 ft lbs of torque, no problem with the Federals on that so I bought them with confidence for my Hyundai i30, & I have not been disappointed (or scared) To be honest I have no idea why some-one with an expensive to insure, high performance car, would buy budget tyres?
For a normal car with a normal driver these tyres are fine. Not noisy, not slippery, not un-trustworthy... in fact they are just average.. which is good for a budget tyre surely? 225 / 45 / 17's £72 a corner.
Winner!
