Hello Fellow Hoonigans,

Please share your full all season/winter tire and rim set up by providing exact model name and specs of both your tires + rims. Photos would be epic if you wish to share.

For upstate NY pothole heavy area I’m currently running Sparco Flow Form FF2 18x8 +45 offset 5x114.3 wheels and Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus 245/40ZR-18 tires. The flow formed wheels will be stronger than regular cast wheels to prevent wheels from bending like they have for me previously, and the DWS06+ tires have proven to handle snow impressively well.

I’m curious to see what other Elantra N owners in pothole heavy regions are going with and if they experience bent rims or not. The low profile tires make it tough.
 
My '24 EN is on DWS06+ on stock wheels - I'm in the Berkshires and have taken a few bigger potholes without issue. If you've a 24- set of wheels, they are about the best for the price and my car loves them.
