Tire care
For the better maintenance, safety,
and fuel economy, you must always
maintain the recommended tire infla-
tion pressures, and follow the load
limits and weight distribution recom-
mendation.
Recommended cold tire infla-
tion pressures
The tire pressure (including the
spare) should be measured, when it
is cold. A “cold tire” means the vehi-
cle does not drive for the last 3 hours
or is driven shorter than 1 mile (1.6
km).
The recommended pressure must be
maintained for the best driving, han-
dling, and the minimum tire wear-out.
For the information about the recom-
mended inflation pressure, refer to
“Tire and wheels” in the chapter 8.
All specifications (sizes and pres-
sures) are specified on the label
attached to the central pillar of the
driver's door.

Tire rotation
To balance worn-out levels of the tire
tread, rotating the tire positions is
required every 7,500 miles (12,000
km), or sooner, when the irregular
abrasion is detected. While rotating
the positions, correctly balance the
tire positions.
When rotating tires, check for any
uneven abrasion and damage.
Abnormal tire abrasion is usually
caused by improper tire pressure,
tilted wheel alignment, unbalanced
wheels, severe braking or hard cor-
nering. Check for any bump or
bulging from the tire side walls. When
finding one of those, replace you tire.
Replace the tire, when a tire cord
fabric is visible. After rotation, make
sure to properly inflate the tires to the
recommended pressure, as speci-
fied, and check the lug-nut tightness.
Disc brake pads should be inspectedfor any abrasion, whenever rotatingtires.
Information
The front tire size is different from the
rear tire size. So when you rotate tires,
check sizes of the tires and wheels.
Wheel alignment and tire bal-
ance
The wheels are finely aligned and
balanced at the manufacturing facto-
ry in order to ensure the longest tire
life and the best driving performance.
In most cases, you do not need to
realign the wheels. However, when
detecting unusual tire abrasion or
vehicle leaning to one side, the
realignment may be needed. When
your vehicle vibrates on an even sur-
face, while driving, your wheels may
need to be rebalanced.
Improperly overweighted wheel
may damage your vehicle's alu-
minum wheels. Carry only the
appropriate wheel weights.

OBK079038
Without a spare tire
Do not use the compact spare
tire for tire rotation.
Never mix bias-ply tires and radial-ply tires under any cir-
cumstances. This may cause
abnormal handling, possibly
resulting in a death, severe
injury, or property damage.

Tire terminology and defini-
tions
Air Pressure:The amount of air
inside a tire, pressing the inside the
tire outwards. Air pressure is meas-
ured in pounds per square inch (psi)
or kilopascal (kPa).
Accessory Weight: This is the com-
bined weights of optional acces-
sories. Some examples of optional
accessories are the automatic trans-
mission, power seats, and air condi-
tioning.
Aspect Ratio: The ratio of a tire
width to a height.
Belt: A rubber coated layer of cords
that is located between the plies and
the tread. Cords may be made from
steel or other reinforcing materials.
Bead: The tire bead contains the
steel wires wrapped with steel cords.
This holds a tire onto a rim. Bias Ply Tire:
This is a pneumatic
tire, in which plies are laid at alter-
nate angles less than 90 degrees on
the tread centerline.
Cold Tire Pressure: This is the
amount of air pressure inside a tire,
measured in pounds per square inch
(psi) or kilopascals (kPa), before the
heat build-up due to driving.
Curb Weight: This is the vehicle
weight with standard and optional
equipment including the full fuel tank,
oil tanks and coolant tanks. However,
this excludes the weight of passen-
gers and loads.
DOT Markings: This code is marked
on a tire side wall, as an indication of
the its compliance with the U.S.
Department of Transportation motor
vehicle safety standards. The DOT
code includes the Tire Identification
Number (TIN), alphanumeric desig-
nator for the manufacturer identifica-
tion, manufacturing plant, brand and
manufacturing date.
GVWR: Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
GAWR FRT: Gross Axle Weight
Rating for the Front Axle.
GAWR RR: Gross Axle Weight
Rating for the Rear axle.
Intended Outboard Sidewall: This
asymmetrical tire side must face out-
wards, while being installed on a
vehicle.
Kilopascal (kPa): The metric unit for
air pressure.
Light Truck (LT) Tire: A tire desig-
nated by its manufacturer as primari-
ly intended for use on lightweight
trucks or multipurpose passenger
vehicles.
Load Ratings: The maximum load
that a tire is rated to carry for a given
inflation pressure.
• It is difficult to recognize a tire
damage only with your eyes.
When there is a slight hint of a
tire damage, check and
replace the tire to prevent the
damage caused by air leak-
age.
When a tire is damaged while driving on a rough road, off a
road, or over obstacles, such
as a pothole, manhole, or curb
stone, your warranty does not
cover the damage.
The tire information is speci- fied on the tire side wall.

All season tires
HYUNDAI designated some models
of all-season tires to provide good
performance for use all year round,
including snowy and icy road condi-
tions. All-season tires are identified
by ALL SEASON and/or M+S (Mud
and Snow) on the tire side wall.
Snow tires have better snow traction
than all season tires and may be
more appropriate in some areas.
Summer tires
HYUNDAI designated some models
of summer tires to provide superior
performance on dry roads. Summer
tire performance is substantially
reduced in snow and ice. Summer
tires do not have a tire traction rating
mark, M+S (Mud and Snow), on the
tire side wall. Before driving in snowy
or icy conditions, it is recommended
to install snow tires or all-season
tires on all four wheels.
Snow tires
When equipping your vehicle with
snow tires, the tires should be in the
same size and have the same load
capacity as the original ones. Snow
tires should be installed on all four
wheels. Otherwise, it may cause
poor handling. Snow tires should be
more inflated by 4 psi (28 kPa) than
the lesser of the two recommended
pressures - one specified on the tire
label attached to the central pillar on
the driver's side, and the other spec-
ified on the tire side wall.
Do not drive faster than 75 mph (120
km/h) when your car is equipped with
snow tires.
- Snow or ice
When driving on a snowy or icy road, drive slower than 20
mph (30 km/h).
Use the SAE “S” class or wire chains.
When you hear chain-rattling noise, retighten the chain to
avoid its contact with the
vehicle body.
To prevent damage to the vehicle body, retighten the
chains after driving 0.3~0.6
miles (0.5~1.0 km).
Do not use tire chains on a vehicle equipped with alu-
minum wheels. In unavoidable
circumstance, use the wire-
type chains.
Use the wire chains, of which the diameter is less than 0.47
inches (12 mm), to prevent
damage to the chain connect-
ing parts.
