Second Hand Hyundai Ioniq 5 Tyre

The Ioniq 5 is a single-generation model launched in the UK in 2021, so there is no generational boundary to worry about - all Ioniq 5s share the same E-GMP platform and use the same standard tyre sizes. That said, tyre size can vary depending on the trim level and wheel package fitted, so always match the size printed on the sidewall of your existing tyre (for example 235/55 R19 or 255/45 R20) rather than assuming model year alone guarantees compatibility. A used tyre sourced from another Ioniq 5 is a strong candidate, but confirm the exact size with the breaker against your registration before buying.

Both the rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive Ioniq 5 variants were offered with the same tyre size options from the factory, as the AWD system does not require a different tyre profile on this model. What matters more is the wheel size that came with your specific trim - 19-inch and 20-inch alloys were both offered across the range, so the tyre dimensions differ by wheel size rather than by drivetrain. Check the sidewall of your current tyre and match that size exactly when sourcing a used replacement from a breaker.

Trim level itself does not change tyre fitment in terms of the tyre being a fundamentally different part, but Hyundai did offer different standard wheel sizes across trims - the SE Connect and Premium grades were typically fitted with 19-inch wheels, while the Ultimate and some other higher grades came with 20-inch wheels as standard. This means a tyre from a Premium-spec car may be a different size to one from an Ultimate, even though both are Ioniq 5s. Always match the tyre size on your sidewall, and let the breaker confirm against the donor vehicle's registration to be sure.

Hyundai made running changes to the Ioniq 5 range during its production life, including a significant update for the 2024 model year which introduced the Ioniq 5 N and revised standard models, and there is some possibility of wheel or tyre size variation across these updates. For the core standard model range, tyre sizes remained consistent on a given wheel diameter, but whether a specific used tyre from a 2021 donor car will slot straight onto a 2023 or 2024 car should be confirmed with the breaker against both registrations. The safest approach is always to match the exact size printed on your sidewall rather than relying on year alone.

Yes, tyres are genuine parts on the Ioniq 5 - unlike some components that only exist on certain drivetrain layouts, every Ioniq 5 runs on four tyres, so this is a straightforward part to source. UK breakers regularly sell part-worn tyres salvaged from accident-damaged or scrapped vehicles, and the Ioniq 5's growing presence on UK roads means stock is becoming more available. Just ensure any used tyre has adequate remaining tread depth, no sidewall damage, and matches your required size exactly before fitting.

The Ioniq 5 N uses a different tyre specification to the standard Ioniq 5 - it runs on 21-inch wheels with performance-oriented tyres (275/35 R21), which are a different size to the 19-inch and 20-inch fitments on the standard range. Physically fitting an N-spec tyre to a standard Ioniq 5 is therefore not straightforward and in most cases not appropriate, as the rim diameter and tyre profile differ. Stick to sourcing a tyre that matches the size on your existing sidewall, and confirm with the breaker that the donor vehicle matches your spec.
