Brake Rotors For Hyundai
i30 and small Hyundai passenger cars
Popular i30 variants use different rotor sizes depending on generation and engine. Many FD and early GD i30 models run 280 mm front rotors that are 26 mm thick with a 24.4 mm minimum thickness, 47–47.5 mm hat height, 69 mm centre bore and 5 x 114.3 stud pattern. Later or higher‑spec i30s step up to 300 mm front rotors in some trims, with listings like 300 mm diameter, 47.4 mm height and 28 mm thickness for certain GD 1.8 applications. That is why “i30 front rotor” is not specific enough when you are ordering.
My Brakes catalogues Hyundai rotors by diameter, thickness and fitment range, so you can match what is on your car instead of relying on generic sizing. That helps keep pedal feel and brake balance exactly how Hyundai intended.
Tucson and other Hyundai SUVs
Hyundai Tucson models use larger rotors again to manage SUV weight. One common Tucson TL front rotor spec is 305 mm diameter, 25 mm maximum thickness and 23.4 mm minimum thickness, with 47 mm height, 69 mm centre hole and 5 studs. Rear discs on those Tucsons are typically solid 302 mm x 10 mm units, which are not interchangeable with front rotors despite being similar in diameter. Newer NX‑series Tucsons continue with 305 mm front discs in many fitments, so matching diameter and thickness remains important.
My Brakes lists these SUV‑specific sizes clearly so you can choose rotors that suit normal commuting, family duties and highway trips without introducing vibration or uneven wear caused by incorrect specs.
iLoad and iMax: vans need heavier hardware
Hyundai iLoad and iMax vans work a lot harder than most passenger vehicles, and their rotor specs reflect that. A typical iLoad front rotor is a 300 mm ventilated disc with 30 mm original thickness (and a defined minimum thickness) plus 53.5 mm height, while the rear uses a larger 324 mm solid disc that is 18 mm thick with a 16.4 mm minimum and 82.6 mm height. Those dimensions are specific to the van platform and not shared with small Hyundai passenger cars.
My Brakes supplies iLoad/iMax rotors that match these heavy‑duty specs so your van maintains stable braking when loaded, towing or working in stop‑start conditions.
Choosing the right Hyundai rotor for your use
If your Hyundai is a daily commuter, a quality OE‑style rotor is usually ideal for quiet operation, long pad life and consistent braking. For vehicles that see more demanding use, such as heavily‑laden iLoads or i30s and Tucsons driven in hilly areas, higher‑grade or slotted rotors can help manage heat and reduce the likelihood of brake shudder by keeping the pad surface cleaner. My Brakes offers both everyday replacement and performance‑oriented rotor options across Hyundai models, so you can match the rotor style to how you actually drive rather than just what fits.
