Hyundai Exter Tyres & Wheels 

JK Tyres entered into a partnership with Hyundai a few months ago for tyre solutions for its range of SUVs. The JK UX Royale offered in the Hyundai Exter is a part of the agreement, and has been made available in both 14-inch and 15-inch tyre sizes for the micro-SUV.

The Hyundai Exter is being offered in seven variants – EX, EX (O), S, S (O), SX, SX (O) and SX (O) Connect. The EX, EX (O), S and S (O) variants come equipped with 165/70 R14 tyres, whereas the SX, SX (O) and SX (O) Connect have larger-sized 175/65 R15 tyres. Both the 14-inch and 15-inch tyres offered in the Hyundai Exter lineup are JK UX Royale tubeless radial tyres. A 165/70 R14 JK UX Royale tyre over 14-inch steel wheel is offered as a spare tyre in all the variants. 

About JK UX Royale

The Hyundai Exter is being positioned as a smart and easy-to-drive vehicle for urban roads, where the optimized footprint pressure distribution in the JK UX Royale enhances the ride comfort and easiness in the driving experience even more. For a quieter driving feel, this tyre has a multi pitch sequence which reduces road noises filtering in the cabin.

The best highlight of the JK UX Royale for Hyundai Exter is its effective performance on wet surfaces. The asymmetric tread pattern, dual radius profile and longitudinal wide grooves help it keep the Exter sure-footed even on wet surfaces. Additionally, this tyre also has an aero wing design and stable shoulder blocks for enhanced high-speed stability.
