WHEN TO REPLACE TIRES
WARNING:
Driving on worn-out tires is dangerous!
Worn-out tires can cause loss of braking
effectiveness, steering control and traction.
When replacing tires, never mix radial and
bias ply tires on the same car. If you replace
radial tires with bias-ply tires, they must be
installed in sets of four.

WARNING:When rotating the 215/45 R17 tires, the tires
must be mount following the "ROTATION"
direction marked on the sidewall of the tires.
If rotating the tires from the left side to the
right side and from the right side to the left
side, separate the wheel from the tire and
then remount them.Sidewall

TIRE BALANCING
A tire that is out of balance may affect handling
and tire wear. The tires on your Hyundai were
balanced before the car was delivered but may
need balancing again during the years you own
the car.
Whenever a tire is dismounted for repair, it
should be rebalanced before being reinstalled
on the car.
I080A01A-AATTIRE TRACTION
Tire traction can be reduced if you drive on
worn tires, tires that are improperly inflated or
on slippery road surfaces. Tires should be re-
placed when tread wear indicators appear. To
reduce the possibility of losing control, slow
down whenever there is rain, snow or ice on the
road.
The original tires on your car have tread wear
indicators. The tread wear indicators appear
when the tread depth is 0.06 in. (1.6 mm). The
tire should be replaced when these appear as a
solid bar across two or more grooves of the
tread. Always replace your tires with those of
the recommended size. If you change wheels,
the new wheel's rim width and offset must meet
Hyundai specification.
WARNING:o Using tires and wheels of other than the
recommended sizes could cause unusu-
al handling characteristics that could
cause death, serious injury, or property
damage.
o Wheels that do not meet Hyundai's di-
mensional specifications may fit poorly
and result in damage to the vehicle, in-
cluding broken wheel studs.

I130A01A-AATCONSUMER INFORMATION
This consumer information has been prepared
in accordance with regulations issued by the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
of the U.S. Department of Transportation. It
provides the purchasers and/or prospective
purchasers of Hyundai automobiles with infor-
mation on uniform tire quality grading. Your
Hyundai dealer will help answer any questions
you may have as you read this information.
I130B02A-AATUniform tire quality grading
Department of Transportation quality grades -
All passenger vehicle tires must conform to
Federal Safety Standards in addition to these
grades. These quality grades are molded on the
sidewall.
Treadwear - The tread wear grade is a com-
parative rating based on the wear rate of the tire
when tested under controlled conditions on a
specified government test course. For exam-
ple, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half
(1 - 1/2) times as well on the government
course as a tire graded 100. The relative perfor-
mance of tires depends upon the actual condi-
tions of their use, however, and may depart
significantly from the norm due to variations in
driving habits, service practices and differenc-
es in road characteristics and climate.
Traction AA, A, B, C - The traction grades,
from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C.
Those grades represent the tire's ability to stop
on wet pavement as measured under controlled
conditions on specified government test surfac-
es of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C
may have poor traction performance.
WARNING:The traction grade assigned to this tire is
based on straight-ahead braking traction
tests, and does not include acceleration,
cornering, hydroplaning, or peak traction
characteristics.

CONSUMER INFORMATION & REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS
8-5 Temperature A, B, C - The temperature grades
are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the
tire's resistance to the generation of heat and
its ability to dissipate heat when tested under
controlled conditions on a specified indoor lab-
oratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature
can cause the material of the tire to degenerate
and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature
can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C
corresponds to a level of performance which all
passenger car tires must meet under the Fed-
eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory test wheel than
the minimum required by law.
WARNING:The temperature grade for this tire is estab-
lished for a tire that is properly inflated and
not overloaded. Excessive speed,
underinflation, or excessive loading, either
separately or in combination, can cause heat
buildup and possible tire failure.

ufactured to meet or exceed all applicable safe-
