I090A01MC-GAT WHEN TO REPLACE TIRES
The original tires on your car have tread wear indicators. The location of tread wear indicators is shown by the "TWI"or " " marks, etc., The tread wear indicators appear when the tread depth is 1.6 mm (0.06 in.). The tire should be replaced when these appear as a solid bar across two or more grooves of thetread. Always replace your tires with those of the recommended size. If you change wheels, the new wheel's rimwidth and offset must meet Hyundai specification.
!WARNING:
o Driving on worn-out tires is dan- gerous! Worn-out tires can cause
loss of braking effectiveness, steering control and traction. When replacing tires, never mixradial and bias-ply tires on the same car. If you replace radial tires with bias-ply tires, they mustbe installed in sets of four.
o Using tires and wheels of other
than the recommended sizes maycause unusual handling charac- teristics that may cause death, serious injury or property dam-age.

The tires onyour Hyundai were balanced before the car was delivered but may need balancing again during the years youown the car. Whenever a tire is dismounted for repair, it should be rebalanced beforebeing reinstalled on the car. I080A01A-AAT TIRE TRACTION Tire traction can be reduced if you drive on worn tires, tires that are im- properly inflated or on slippery road surfaces.
