Kumho Wintercraft WP72

Mount, Balance & TPMS Check

Fitment Confirmed First

Loaner Vehicles Available

The Sonata’s 19-inch wheels and sharp steering suit a performance winter tire rather than a soft, chunky one. The Kumho Wintercraft WP72 stays flexible below 7°C, clears slush through its directional tread and holds a steady line on the highway. Most 19-inch Sonatas use 245/40R19, but some owners run 235/40R19 on aftermarket wheels. Radman Auto Repair confirms your exact size first, then supplies and installs the WP72 for Sonata drivers across Etobicoke, Toronto and the GTA.

Not sure of your size? Look at the sidewall of your current tires or the placard on the driver’s door jamb — or call (416) 742-4521 with your VIN and we will confirm it before ordering.

Which Winter Tire Size Fits Your Sonata?

Hyundai has used several wheel sizes on the Sonata. Most recent 19-inch trims (such as SEL Plus, Limited and N Line) use 245/40R19. 235/40R19 appears on some aftermarket and replacement wheels. The size printed on your tire sidewall and the door-jamb placard is the one to match.

19-inch factory wheels (recent SEL Plus, Limited, N Line) — Usually 245/40R19 — we fit the WP72 in your exact size

19-inch aftermarket wheels — Often 235/40R19 — confirm the size on your current tires

16-, 17- or 18-inch wheels — A different size — ask us for the WP72 or an alternative in your size

Why the Kumho Wintercraft WP72

All-season tires are a compromise; below 7°C their rubber hardens and braking distances grow. The WP72 is a dedicated winter tire with the features that matter for a Hyundai Sonata:

Performance winter compound

Stays flexible in freezing temperatures so the tire keeps biting on cold, dry pavement as well as snow.

Directional V-shaped tread

Channels slush and water away from the contact patch to resist hydroplaning on melting roads.

3D sipes

Thousands of small slits that open and lock as the tire flexes, adding grip edges on ice and packed snow.

XL (extra load) construction

A reinforced build that supports the weight of a mid-size sedan on a low-profile 19-inch tire.

Quiet highway ride

A tread design tuned to keep road noise down, which matters on long GTA commutes.

Three-peak mountain snowflake

A dedicated winter tire — the symbol Ontario insurers look for when you ask about the winter tire discount.

When to Switch to Winter Tires

Install winter tires once daytime temperatures stay below about 7°C — in the GTA that is usually late October or early November — and switch back once spring temperatures stay above it. Sonatas commuting on the 401, 427 and 400 see slush, refreezing ruts and heavy road salt — the conditions the WP72’s directional tread and 3D sipes are designed for.

Book early: the first cold snap brings a rush of changeovers. Already have winter tires on rims? See our winter tire changeover and seasonal swap service.

What’s Included When We Install Your Winter Tires

Fitment check first — Size, load and speed rating confirmed from your placard or VIN before anything is ordered.

Mounting and balancing — Each tire balanced on the wheel so the ride stays smooth at highway speed.

Directional mounting — The WP72 is directional — every tire is mounted to roll the right way.

TPMS check — Tire pressure sensors checked and relearned where your car needs it.

Torque to spec — Wheel nuts tightened in a star pattern to the manufacturer’s torque, then rechecked.

Cold pressure set — Pressures set to spec for winter temperatures, not the warm shop floor.

Make Your Winter Tires Last

Rotate every 10,000 km — Even wear front to rear keeps grip consistent and extends tread life.

Check pressure monthly — Pressure drops roughly 1 psi for every 5–6°C of cooling; low pressure costs grip and wears the shoulders.

Watch for potholes — A hard hit can bend a 19-inch rim or knock out the alignment, causing vibration and uneven wear.

Store them properly — Clean, dry, out of the sun and away from heaters — stacked flat if on rims, upright if not.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I put winter tires on my Sonata?

Once daytime temperatures stay below about 7°C, usually from late October or early November in the GTA. Below that point all-season rubber hardens and loses grip, even on dry roads.

Is the Kumho Wintercraft WP72 a good winter tire for a Hyundai Sonata?

Yes. It is a performance winter tire designed for cars on low-profile wheels, so it keeps the Sonata’s steering precise while adding grip in snow, slush and cold. For deep, unplowed snow a softer studless tire may suit some drivers better — we can compare options with you.

How do I confirm my Sonata’s tire size?

Check the sidewall of your current tires or the placard on the driver’s door jamb, or call us with your VIN. We confirm size, load and speed rating before ordering.

Is 235/40R19 the right winter tire size for my Sonata?

Only if that is the size on your current tires or door placard. Most factory 19-inch Sonatas use 245/40R19. Send us a photo of your tire sidewall or your VIN and we will confirm the correct size before ordering.

Do winter tires lower my car insurance in Ontario?

Ontario insurers are required to offer a discount for winter tires, typically a few percent. Ask your insurer for the details that apply to your policy.

How often should winter tires be rotated?

About every 10,000 km, and at each seasonal swap. Rotation evens out wear so the set lasts longer and stays balanced.

Alex is a great guy. He took the time to respond by phone and walk me through my options for my Tesla Model Y 2024 and gave me his perspectives as a Tesla owner. Top recommendation in my books for the Toronto area.

I cannot say enough good things about Livio and the team at Radman Auto Repair in Rexdale. We brought in my son’s 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer because the A/C was malfunctioning. We had already been to two other shops, paid for diagnostics, and received different explanations, so we were frustrated and unsure what to do next. Livio was outstanding. He listened carefully, looked at the issue, and explained everything clearly and in detail in a way that actually made sense. He was able to narrow down what was going on within minutes, without guessing, pressure, or recommending unnecessary work. What really stood out was that he did not charge us another diagnostic fee after learning we had already paid for two separate diagnoses. Even better, the work was completed the same day, which was a huge relief. It is rare to find a mechanic who is knowledgeable, honest, patient, efficient, and genuinely focused on helping customers understand the real issue before they spend money on repairs. Livio truly gets it. We are so happy we found Radman Auto Repair and would highly recommend Livio and his team to anyone looking for trustworthy, skilled, and customer-focused service..

My 2015 Honda CR-V was blowing hot air and making noise when the A/C was on. The Compressor and Expansion valve needed replacement due to metal debris in the system. I rarely write reviews, but I felt it would be wrong not to appreciate Radman for their service, especially after what I went through before finding them. I’m writing this one month after the repair because I wanted to test my A/C on multiple long trips before recommending them. One thing I learned from this experience is that many mechanics know how to replace parts, but very *few follow the right procedures* and perform the proper checks. I initially went for a cheaper repair at a local mechanic. The problem came back, and afterward he didn’t seem to know what to do next. I found Radman through Google reviews without any personal recommendation, so I was taking a chance. They properly diagnosed the issue, explained everything clearly before starting the work, didn’t exaggerate the problem, and charged me a reasonable price. A/C issues can be complicated but they answered all my questions and I honestly haven’t had such a good and detailed conversation with a mechanic in the GTA about an A/C problem. Their knowledge and experience with A/C systems really stood out. I also had a catalytic converter issue. Another mechanic simply recommended replacing it, which would have cost at least $2,000. Radman explained that considering the age and condition of my 2015 CR-V, such an expensive replacement might not make sense. They gave me the replacement cost but also suggested trying Cataclean first. I tried it, and so far I haven’t had any issues. After a month and several long trips, my A/C is still working well. It’s rare to find this combination of knowledge, transparency, and honesty. Thank you, Radman, for the knowledgeable and honest service. I genuinely appreciate it.

I fix my cars myself but I always go to Radman for AC work. Been coming here for years and they do great work and are fairly priced. The guys are honest and reliable. Very clean waiting room too!

Finding a mechanic who actually understands EVs and is completely trustworthy is hard to come by, but ⁠Radman Repair is excellent. The service was top-notch, they explained everything to me with so much patience, and the overall experience was a 10/10. 100% recommended!
