What are the best snow tires for a Hyundai Santa Fe?
I just picked up my 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe, and considering we’re in the middle of winter, I need to get a pair of snow tires immediately. What’s the best kind to look for?

Having
winter tires
is a great way to keep you and your vehicle safe in poor driving conditions. The best snow tires for a Hyundai Santa Fe depend on your budget, but you’ll need size 235/65R17. Snow tires range in quality and price, so you’ll need to consider the conditions you will be driving in and what price point you’re comfortable with. Some great options include:
- BF Goodrich Winter T/A KSI
- Bridgestone Blizzak DMV2
- Continental IceContact Extreme
- Continental VikingContact 7
- Firestone Winterforce 2
- Michelin X-ice Snow
While most people opt for all-season tires on their
SUVs
(especially if they have all-wheel drive) snow tires offer more advantages:
Tread rubber: The tread rubber on winter tires remains flexible, enhancing grip in slippery and snowy conditions.
Tread depth and patterns: Winter tires are designed with deeper tread depths and unique tread patterns that help to reduce snow buildup and offer better traction.
Biting edges: Winter tires have more biting edges and high sipe densities. They have thousands of tiny slits in the tread to increase traction on ice. View full answer
