Are the Stock Tyres of the Hyundai Sonata Suitable for Rough o r Uneven Pakistani Roads?

The Sonata comes with low-profile tyres usually 215/55 R17 o r 235/45 R18, which provide better handling but less cushioning. Are these tyres prone to damage like bulging o r sidewall cuts on pothole-ridden roads common in Pakistan?

The stock tyres on the Hyundai Sonata, such as the 245/45 R18 o r 245/40 R19, are designed for comfort and performance. However, these low-profile tyres may not be ideal for the rough and uneven road conditions prevalent in many parts of Pakistan. Owners have reported issues like sidewall bulging and tyre damage due to potholes and rough surfaces. Upgrading to tyres with higher sidewalls, like 215/60 R16, can offer better cushioning and protection against road imperfections.
