Temperature -A, B & C
The temperature grades are A (the
highest), B and C representing the tire’s
resistance to the generation of heat
and its ability to dissipate heat when
tested under controlled conditions on a
specified indoor laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause
the material of the tire to degenerate
and reduce tire life, and excessive
temperature can lead to sudden tire
failure. Grades B and A represent higher
levels of performance on the laboratory
test wheel than the minimum required
by law.
WARNING
The temperature grade for this tire is
established for a tire that is properly
inflated and not overloaded. Excessive
speed, under-inflation, over-inflation,
or excessive loading, either separately
or in combination, can cause heat
build-up and possible sudden tire
failure. This may cause loss of vehicle
control resulting in an accident.
Low aspect ratio tires
Low aspect ratio tires, the aspect ratio
is lower than 50, are provided for sporty
looks.
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 and consequently have a greater
contact patch with the road surface. In
some instances they may generate more
road noise compared with standard tires.
CAUTION
Because the sidewall of a low aspect
ratio tire is shorter than a standard tire,
the rim of the wheel and the tire itself
is more easily susceptible to damage.
Use caution when driving and follow
the guidelines below to help minimize
damage to the wheel and tire:
• When driving on a rough road or
driving off a road, be careful not to
damage the tires and wheels. After
driving, inspect the tires and wheels.
• When passing over a pothole, speed
bump, manhole, or curb stone,
drive the vehicle slowly so as not to
damage the tires and wheels.
• If the tire is subjected to a severe
impact, we recommend you have
the tire and wheel inspected by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• Inspect the tire condition and
pressure every 3,000 km (1,800 miles)
to prevent tire damage.
• It is not easy to recognize tire
damage with your own eyes. But
if there is the slightest hint of tire
damage, have the tire checked or
replaced because the tire damage
may cause air leakage from the tire.
• If the tire is damaged by driving
on a rough road, off road, pothole,
manhole, or curb stone, it will not be
covered by the warranty.
