Tire chains (Wire chains)
ONE1061022K
Since the sidewalls of radial tires are  
thinner than other types of tires, they 
may be damaged by mounting some 
types of tire chains on them. Therefore, 
the use of snow tires is recommended 
instead of tire chains. If tire chains must be used, use genuine Hyundai parts 
and install the tire chain after reviewing 
the instructions provided with the tire 
chains. Damage to your vehicle caused 
by improper tire chain use is not covered 
by your vehicle manufacturer’s warranty. 
When using tire chains, install tire chains  
only on the rear tires.
 WARNING
The use of tire chains may adversely  
affect vehicle handling: •	 Drive less than 20 mph (30 km/h)  
or the chain manufacturer’s 
recommended speed limit, 
whichever is lower.
•	 Drive carefully and avoid bumps, 
holes, sharp turns, and other road 
hazards, which may cause the 
vehicle to bounce.
•	 Avoid sharp turns or locked wheel 
braking.
 Information
•	 Install tire chains only in pairs and on  
the rear tires. It should be noted that 
installing tire chains on the tires will 
provide a greater driving force, but will 
not prevent side skids.
•	 Do not install studded tires without first checking local and municipal 
regulations for possible restrictions 
against their use.
