TIRE BALANCING
A tire that is out of balance may affect
handling and tire wear. The tires on your
Hyundai were balanced before the car
was delivered but may need balancing
again during the years you own the car.
Whenever a tire is dismounted for re-
pair, it should be rebalanced before
being reinstalled on the car.

I060A01O-AAT
TIRE ROTATION
Tires should be rotated every 7,500
miles (12,000 km). If you notice that
tires are wearing unevenly between ro-
tations, 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.
CAUTION:
Do not mix bias-ply and radial-ply
under any circumstances. This may
cause dangerous handling charac-
teristics.

I050A04A-AAT
TIRE CHAINS
Tire chains, if necessary, should be
installed on the front wheels. Be sure
that the chains are installed in accor-
dance with the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
To minimize tire and chain wear, do not
continue to use tire chains when they
are no longer needed.
WARNING:
o Drive at lower speeds when driv-
ing on roads covered with snow or
ice.
o Use the SAE "S" class or wire &
plastic chains.
o If you hear noise caused by chains
contacting the body, retighten the
chain to avoid contact with the
vehicle body.
o To prevent body damage, retighten
the chains after driving 0.3 ~ 0.6
miles.
