Low aspect ratio tyre
(if equipped)
Low aspect ratio tyres, whose aspect
ratio is lower than 50, are provided
for sporty looks.
Because the low aspect ratio tyres
are optimized for handling and brak-
ing, it may be more uncomfortable to
ride in and there is more noise com-
pare with normal tyres.
CAUTION
Because the sidewall of the low
aspect ratio tyre is shorter than
the normal, the wheel and tyre
of the low aspect ratio tyre is
easier to be damaged. So, follow
the instructions below.
- When driving on a rough road
or off road, drive cautiously
because tyres and wheels may
be damaged. And after driving,
inspect tyres and wheels.
- When passing over a pothole,
speed bump, manhole, or curb
stone, drive slowly so that the
tyres and wheels are not dam-
aged.
- If the tyre is impacted, we rec-
ommend that you inspect the
tyre condition or contact an
authorised HYUNDAI repairer.
- To prevent damage to the tyre,
inspect the tyre condition and
pressure every 3,000km.
CAUTION
• It is not easy to recognize the
tyre damage with your own
eyes. But if there is the slight-
est hint of tyre damage, even
though you cannot see the
tyre damage with your own
eyes, have the tyre checked or
replaced because the tyre
damage may cause air leak-
age from the tyre.
• If the tyre is damaged by driv-
ing on a rough road, off road,
pothole, manhole, or curb
stone, it will not be covered by
the warranty.
• You can find out the tyre infor-
mation on the tyre sidewall.
