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 han-
dling 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's side of the
center pillar , or up to the maximum
pressure shown on the tire sidewall
whichever is less.
Do not drive faster than 75 mph (120
km/h) when your car is equipped with
snow tires.

snowy and icy road conditions. All sea-
son tires are identified by ALL SEASON

sidewall. Snow tires have better snow
traction than all season tires an may be
more appropriate in some areas.I040C01JM-AATSUMMER TIRES

I090B01JM-AATTIRE MAINTENANCE
In addition to proper inflation, correct
wheel alignment helps to decrease tire
wear. If you find a tire is worn unevenly,
have your dealer check the wheel align-
ment.
When you have new tires installed,
make sure they are balanced. This will
increase vehicle ride comfort and tire
life. Additionally, a tire shoud always be
rebalanced if it is removed from the
wheel.
!
WARNING:
Your vehicle is equipped with tires
designed to provide for safe ride and
handling capability.
Do not use a size and type of tire and
wheel that is different from the one
that is originally installed on your
vehicle. It can affect the safety and
performance of your vehicle, which
could lead to handling failure or
rollover and serious injury.
When replacing the tires, be sure to
equip all four tires with the tire and
wheel of the same size, type, tread,
brand and load-carrying capacity. If
you nevertheless decide to equip
your vehicle with any tire/wheel com-
bination not recommended by
Hyundai for off-road driving, you
should not use these tires for high-
way driving.
