TYRE CHAINS
Tyre chains, if necessary, should be installed
on the front wheels. Be sure that the chains are
the proper size and that they are installed in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.
To minimize tyre and chain wear, do not contin-
ue to use tyre chains when they are no longer
needed.
CAUTION:
When driving on roads covered with snow
or ice, drive at less than 20 mph (30 km/h).

TYRE ROTATION
Tyre wear will vary for each wheel. In order to
increase the life of each tyre and keep wear
uniform, tyre rotation should be performed ev-
ery 6,000 miles (10,000 km) as shown in figure.
NOTE:
Do not mix bias-ply and radial-ply tyres
under any circumstances. This may cause
dan-gerous handling characteristics.

TYRE BALANCING
A tyre that is out of balance may affect handling
and tyre wear. The tyres on your Hyundai were
balanced before the car was delivered but may
need balancing again during the years you own
the car. Whenever a tyre is dismounted for
repair, it should be rebalanced.

TYRE REPLACEMENT
Tyres must be replaced when the wear indica-
tors appear as a solid bar across the tyre tread.
At this point, the remaining tread depth will be
approximately 0.06 in. (1.6 mm). In addition to
this, the tyre must be replaced if any portion of
the tread has become bald or if there are any
lumps, bulges or deep cuts in the sidewalls or
tread.
Replacement tyres must be of the recommend-
ed size and rating and should be of the same
manufacture and tread pattern on each axle.

SNOW TYRES
If you equip your car with snow tyres, they
should be the same size and have the same
load capacity as the original tyres. Do not drive
faster than 60 mph when your car is equipped
with snow tyres.
