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.
!
WARNING:
o Tires degrade over time, even when
they are not being used. Regard-
less of the remaining tread, it is
recommended that tires tread, It is
recommended that tires generally
be replaced after 6 years of normal
service. Heat caused by not cli-
mates or frequent high loading
Conditions can accelerate the ag-
ing process. Failure to follow this
Warning can result in sudden tire
failure, which could lead to a loss
of control and an accident involv-
ing serious injury or death.
o The ABS works by comparing the
speed of the wheels. Tire size can
affect wheel speed. When replac-
ing tires, all 4 tires must use the
same size originally supplied with
the vehicle. Using tires of a differ-
ent size can cause the ABS (Anti-
lock Brake System) and ESC (Elec-
tronic Stability Control) (if in-
stalled) to work irregularly.
