Figures marked "Owner's manual" link to the maker's own document. "Reported" figures are the maker's, read from a copy we could not get from the maker directly. A figure marked ≈ has been converted from the unit the manual prints. Nothing here has been checked against your vehicle: if it disagrees with the placard on the door jamb, the placard wins.

Tire pressure questions
What should the tire pressure be on a Hyundai Tucson?
It depends on the tire size. For the sizes Hyundai lists, the cold pressure is 35 psi at the front and 35 psi at the rear. Find your size in the tables above, and check the tires cold.
What size tires does a Hyundai Tucson take?
Hyundai fitted the Tucson with 225/60 R17, 235/65 R17, 225/55 R18, 235/60 R18, 235/55 R19 and 245/45 R19, depending on the model year and trim. The size is printed on the side of your tire; the pressures above are listed by size.
Where is the tire pressure placard on a Hyundai Tucson?
On the driver's door jamb — the Tire and Loading Information placard. It gives the same cold pressures as the owner's manual, which is where the figures on this page come from; if the two ever disagree, go by the placard on your vehicle.
