2016 Hyundai Equus tires

7-54
Maintenance
Vehicle Capacity Weight: The mul-
tiplication of the designated occu-
pant seat number by 150 pounds (68
kg) plus the loading weight.
Vehicle Maximum Load on the
Tire: Loading capacity for an individ-
ual tire. The curb and accessory
weights plus the maximum occupant
and loading weights.
Vehicle Normal Load on the Tire:
Loading capacity for an individual
axle. The sum of the curb, accessory,
and normal occupant weights is
divided by 2.
Vehicle Placard: A label, perma-
nently attached to a vehicle, to indi-
cate the original equipment tire size
and the recommended inflation pres-
sure.
All season tires
HYUNDAI designated some models
of all-season tires to provide good
performance for use all year round,
including snowy and icy road condi-
tions. All-season tires are identified
by ALL SEASON and/or M+S (Mud
and Snow) on the tire side wall.
Snow tires have better snow traction
than all season tires and may be
more appropriate in some areas.
Summer tires
HYUNDAI designated some models
of summer tires to provide superior
performance on dry roads. Summer
tire performance is substantially
reduced in snow and ice. Summer
tires do not have a tire traction rating
mark, M+S (Mud and Snow), on the
tire side wall. Before driving in snowy
or icy conditions, it is recommended
to install snow tires or all-season
tires on all four wheels.
Snow tires
When equipping your vehicle with
snow tires, the tires should be in the
same size and have the same load
capacity as the original ones. Snow
tires should be installed on all four
wheels. Otherwise, it may cause
poor handling. Snow tires should be
more inflated by 4 psi (28 kPa) than
the lesser of the two recommended
pressures - one specified on the tire
label attached to the central pillar on
the driver's side, and the other spec-
ified on the tire side wall.
Do not drive faster than 75 mph (120
km/h) when your car is equipped with
snow tires.
- Snow or ice
When driving on a snowy or icy road, drive slower than 20
mph (30 km/h).
Use the SAE “S” class or wire chains.
When you hear chain-rattling noise, retighten the chain to
avoid its contact with the
vehicle body.
To prevent damage to the vehicle body, retighten the
chains after driving 0.3~0.6
miles (0.5~1.0 km).
Do not use tire chains on a vehicle equipped with alu-
minum wheels. In unavoidable
circumstance, use the wire-
type chains.
Use the wire chains, of which the diameter is less than 0.47
inches (12 mm), to prevent
damage to the chain connect-
ing parts.

Maintenance07
Tire chains
Tire chains, if necessary, should be
installed on the drive wheels (rear
wheels).
Make sure that the chains are
installed in accordance with the man-
ufacturer's instructions.
To minimize the abrasion of tires and
chains, do not use the chains, when
unnecessary.
Radial-ply tires
Radial-ply tires provide longer tread
life, better road hazard resistance
and smoother riding at a high speed.
The radial-ply tires used on this vehi-
cle are of belted construction, and
are to improve your driving and han-
dling. Radial-ply tires have the same
loading capacity as the bias-ply or
bias-belted tires of the same size.
Inflate the radial-ply tires to the same
recommended inflation pressure. It is
not recommended to attempt a
cross-combination of radial-ply tires
and bias-ply(or bias-belted) tires on
the same vehicle. Any cross-combi-
nation of radial-ply and bias-ply(or
bias-belted) tires on one vehicle will
seriously deteriorate vehicle han-
dling. The best rule to follow is:
Identical radial-ply tires should
always be used for a set of four tires.
A tire, which is driven for a long peri-
od of time, is more susceptible to
irregular tread abrasion. It is very
important to rotate tires, at the inter-
val instructed in this chapter, to use it
up to its potential tread life. Any cut
and puncture on a radial-ply tire is
repairable, only when it is on the
tread, because of the side wall flex-
ing. Consult your tire dealer for a
radial-ply tire repair.

Information
It is permissible to increase the tire pressure by 3psi from the standard specifi-
cation, when a cold temperature is expected soon. A tire typically loses its pres-
sure by 1psi for every 12°F temperature drop. When an extreme temperature
variation is expected, frequently check your tire pressure to keep them properly
inflated.

While replacing tires, use a new one of the same size as the original-
ly supplied tire. Using tires of a different size may damage the relat-
ed parts or cause irregular operation.
CAUTION

The vehicle identification number
(VIN) is the number used in register-
ing your vehicle and in dealing with
all legal matters, such as ownership.
The number is punched on the floor
under the front passenger’s seat. To
check the number, open the cover.
The VIN is also on a plate attached
to the top of the dashboard. The
number on the plate can easily be
seen through the windshield from
outside.The vehicle certification label
attached on the driver’s side center
pillar has the vehicle identification
number (VIN).

The tires, equipped with your new
vehicle, are chosen to provide the
best performance in a normal driving
condition.
The tire label, located on the driver's
side center pillar, gives the tire infor-
mation, such as the recommended
pressure.
