TIRE 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.
I070A01A-AAT
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.
I090A01A-AAT
WHEN TO REPLACE TIRES
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.

TIRE ROTATION
Tires should be rotated every 7,500 miles
(12,000 km). If you notice that tires are wearing
unevenly between rotations, have the car
checked by a Hyundai dealer so the cause may
be corrected.
After rotating, adjust the tire pressures and be
sure to check wheel nut torque.
CAUTION:Do not mix bias-ply and radial-ply under
any circumstances. This may cause dan-
gerous handling characteristics.
