I090A03MC-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.

I070A01A-AAT TIRE BALANCING A tire that is out of balance may affect handling and tire wear. 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. Tires should be replacedwhen tread wear indicators appear. To reduce the possibility of losing control, slow down whenever there is rain,snow or ice on the road.
!WARNING:
o Do not use the temporary spare tire for tire rotations.
o Do not mix bias-ply and radial-ply tires under any circumstances. This may cause dangerous han-dling characteristics.
After rotating, adjust the tire pressuresand be sure to check wheel nut torque.

!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.
o Tires degrade over time, even when
they are not being used. Regard- less of the remaining tread, it isrecommended that tires tread, It isrecommended that tires generallybe replaced after 6 years of normalservice. Heat caused by hot cli-mates or frequent high loadingconditions can accelerate the ag-ing process. Failure to follow this Warning canresult in sudden tire failure, whichcould lead to a loss of control andan accident involving serious in-jury or death.
o The ABS works by comparing the speed of the wheels. Tire size can affect wheel speed. When replac- ing tires, all 4 tires must use thesame size originally supplied with the vehicle. Using tires of a differ- ent size can cause the ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) and ESP (Elec- tronic Stability Program) (If In- stalled) to work irregularly.
