rotation interval in this chapter to
achieve the tread life potential of
these tires. Cuts and punctures in
radial-ply tires are repairable only in
the tread area, because of sidewall
flexing. Consult your tire dealer for
radial-ply tire repairs.
WARNING
Do not mix bias ply and radial ply tires
under any circumstances. This may
cause unusual handling
characteristics that may cause loss of
vehicle control resulting in an
accident.

Low Aspect Ratio Tires
The aspect ratio is lower than 50 on
low aspect ratio tires.
Because low aspect ratio tires are
optimized for handling and braking,
their sidewall is a little stiffer than a
standard tire. Also, low aspect ratio
tires tend to be wider so that they
consequently have increased contact
with the road surface. In some
instances, low aspect ratio tires may
generate more road noise compared
with standard tires.
Low-aspect wheels and tires are
easily damaged. To reduce the risk of
damage:
• When driving on rough roads,
passing over a pothole, speed
bump, manhole, or curb stone,
drive the vehicle slowly not to
damage the tires and wheels.
Damage is not covered by your
vehicle warranty.
• Inspect the tire condition and
pressure every 8,000 mi. (13,000
km).
• It is difficult to visually inspect for
tire damage with your eyes. If any
damage is found, contact your
authorized HYUNDAI dealer to
replace the tire.
