Tire Rotation
To equalize tread wear, HYUNDAI
recommends that the tires
be rotated according to the
maintenance schedule or sooner if
irregular wear develops.
During rotation, check the tires for
correct balance.
When rotating tires, check for
uneven wear and damage. Abnormal
wear is usually caused by incorrect
tire pressure, improper wheel
alignment, out-of-balance wheels,
severe braking, or severe cornering.
Look for bumps or bulges in the
tread or side of the tire. Replace
the tire if you find any of these
conditions. Replace the tire if fabric
or cord is visible. After rotation, be
sure to bring the front and rear tire
pressures to specification and check
wheel nut torque (proper torque is
79.6-94.0 lbf.ft [11.0-13.0 kgf.m]).
OHI078078
Disc brake pads should be inspected
for wear whenever tires are rotated.
Information
When installing an unsymmetrical
tire, install the side marked “outside”
facing out.
WARNING
ś
Do not use the compact spare tire
for tire rotation.
ś
Do not mix bias ply and radial ply
tires under any circumstances.
This may cause unusual handling
characteristics that may cause
loss of vehicle control and result in
a collision.
