TIRE ROTATION

SNOW TIRES
If you equip your car with snow tires, they
should be the same size and have the same
load capacity as the original tires. Snow tires
should be installed on all four wheels; other-
wise, poor handling may result.
Snow tires should carry 28 kPa (4 psi) more air
pressure than the pressure recommended for
the standard tires on the tire label on the driver's
door edge, or up to the maximum pressure
shown on the tire sidewall whichever is less.
Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75 mph)
when your car is equipped with snow tires.

TIRE CHAINS
Tire chains should be installed on the rear
wheels. Be sure that the chains are installed in
accordance with the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
To minimize tire and chain wear, do not con-
tinue to use tire chains when they are no longer
needed.
WARNING:
When driving on roads covered with snow
or ice, drive at less than 30 km/h (20 mph).
Tires should be rotated every 5,000 km (3,000
miles). If you notice that tires are wearing un-
evenly between rotations, have the car checked
by a Hyundai dealer so the cause may be
corrected.
After rotating, adjust the tire pressures and be
sure to check wheel nut torque.
WARNING:
Do not mix bias-ply and radial-ply tires un-
der any circumstances. This may cause dan-
gerous handling characteristics that may
cause death, serious injury, or property dam-
age.
o Lower-than-recommended tire pressures
cause uneven tread wear and poor han-
dling.
o Higher-than-recommended tire pressures
increase the chance of damage from im-
pacts and cause uneven tread wear.
CAUTION:
Always observe the following:
o Check pressures when the tires are cold.
That is, after the car has been parked for
at least three hours and hasn't been
driven more than 1.6 km or one mile
since starting up.
o Check the pressure of your spare tire
each time you check the pressure of
other tires.
o Never overload your car. Be especially
careful about overloading if you equip
your car with a luggage rack or car top
carrier.
