I currently have a '23 Hyundai Santa Fe with the 2.5 Turbo which I am enjoying. That 2.5T with 311 lb/ft of torque scoots the car along pretty well. The SUV is big enough without being too big and it's comfortable. I like that it's got plenty of buttons instead of everything being controlled be the touch screen. So I'm really liking the car but the one thing I would change would be the suspension. It's a bit more floaty than I would like. Now, I'm 99% sure that the Continental Crosscontact LX Sport tires that came on the vehicle are SL rated. Since the Santa Fe is not an enthusiasts vehicle there is little in the way of alternate suspension and I don't want to get into an expensive guessing game of trying different things. So I'm wondering when the time comes for tires (only have a little over six thousand miles right now), would making a switch to an XL tire make any noticeable difference that I would feel.
So far these tires have been fine. Bought the car in March so haven't driven in snow yet. But as we know, OE tires generally aren't all that great, so I may make a change before the tires wear out.
Any thoughts on whether or not going from SL to XL would make much of a difference?
Thanks
