Lower-than-recommended tire pressures
cause uneven tread wear and poor han-
dling.
Higher-than-recommended tire pressures
increase the chance of damage from im-
pacts and cause uneven tread wear.

SNOW TIRES
TIRE ROTATION
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; other-
wise, poor handling may result.
CAUTION:
Always observe the following:
Snow tires should carry 28 kPa (4 psi) more air
pressure than the pressure recommended for
the standard tires on the tire label on the driver
side center pillar outer panel, or up to the
maximum pressure shown on the tire sidewall
whichever is less.
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 driv-
en more than 1.6 km or one mile since
starting up.
Do not drive faster than the speed limit when
your car is equipped with snow tires.

Check the pressure of your spare tire
each time you check the pressure of
other tires.
Never overload your car. Be especially
careful about overloading if you equip
your car with a luggage rack or car top
carrier.
Tires should be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000
miles). If you notice that tires are wearing un-
evenly between rotations, have the car checked
by a Hyundai dealer so the cause may be
corrected.

TIRE CHAINS
Tire chains, if necessary, should be installed on
the front wheels. Be sure that the chains are the
proper size and that they are installed in accor-
dance with the manufacturer's instructions.
After rotating, adjust the tire pressures and be
sure to check wheel nut tightness.
WARNING:
Do not mix bias-ply and radial-ply tires un-
der any circumstances.
This may cause dangerous handling char-
acteristics.
To minimize tire and chain wear, do not con-
tinue to use tire chains when they are no longer
needed.
WARNING:
When driving on roads covered with snow
or ice, drive at less than 30 km/h (20 mph).
