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.

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 replaced
when tread wear indicators appear. To reduce
the possibility of losing control, slow down when-
ever there is rain, snow or ice on the road.

WHEN TO REPLACE TIRES
Wear indicator
0.06 in. (1.6 mm)
HGK248
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.
!
WARNING:
o Driving on worn-out tires is dangerous!
Worn-out tires can cause loss of brak-
ing effectiveness, steering control and
traction. When replacing tires, never
mix radial and bias ply tires on the same
car. If you replace radial tires with bias-
ply tires, they must be installed in sets
of four.
o Using tires and wheels of other than
the recommended sizes could cause
unusual handling characteristics that
could cause death, serious injury, or
property damage.
o Wheels that do not meet Hyundai's
dimensional specifications may fit
poorly and result in damage to the
vehicle, including broken wheel studs.
