I changed to bigger tyres because it is difficult to obtain tyres with a aggressive pattern in the standard 235-60 x 18" size and the 255-55 x 18 is .02" smaller so will not upset the gearing and speedo,etc. I had the General Grabber AT2`s on my previous Santa Fe and they were awesome,so much so my mates have them on Nissan and Land Rovers, they are so reliable.It depends on your drive and road so you should put the standard tire pressure first if it requires more then you can add more. I have a question why you change the tire size?
