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; otherwise, poor
handling may result.
Snow tires should carry 4 psi (28 kPa) more air
pressure than the pressure recommended for
the standard tires on the tire label on the driver
side center piller outer panel or up to the maxi-
mum pressure shown on the tire sidewall which-
ever is less.
Do not drive faster than 75 mph (120 km/h)
when your car is equipped with snow tires.

RECOMMENDED INFLATION PRES-
SURES
The tire label located on the driver side center
pillar outer panel gives the tire pressures rec-
ommended for your vehicle.These pressures were chosen to provide the
most satisfactory combination of ride comfort,
tire wear and stability under normal conditions.
Tire pressures should be checked at least
monthly. Proper tire inflation pressures should
be maintained for these reasons:
o Lower-than-recommended tire pressures
cause uneven tread wear and poor handling.
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 one mile or 1.6 km since
starting up.
o Check the pressure of your spare tire
each time you check the pressure of
other tires.HGK092

TIRE ROTATION
Tires should be rotated every 6,000 miles
(10,000 km). If you notice that tires are wearing
unevenly 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
under any circumstances. This may cause
dangerous handling characteristics.

TIRE CHAINS
Tire chains, if necessary, should be installed on
the front wheels. Be sure that the chains are
installed in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions. Refer to the following information.
WARNING:o When driving on roads covered with
snow or ice, drive at less than 20 mph (30
km/h).
o Use tire chains less than 0.39 in. (10mm)
for "16, and "17 tires.
o Avoid sudden stop and turn tires.
o Tighten firmly to avoid contact with the
vertical body, if you have noise caused
by chaws contacting the body, remove
the chains for damage protection. To minimize tire and chain wear, do not continue
to use tire chains when they are no longer
needed.Tire size

!WARNING:When rotating the 215/45 R17 tires, the tires
must be mount following the "ROTATION"
direction marked on the sidewall of the
tires.
If rotating the tires from the left side to the
right side and from the right side to the left
side, separate the wheel from the tire and
then remount them.
