2012 Hyundai Sonata Owners Manual

Maintenance
Do not drive faster than 75 mph (120
km/h) when your car is equipped with
snow tires.
Radial-ply tires
WARNING - Snow or  ice
Radial-ply   tires   provide   improved
tread life, road hazard resistance and
smoother high  speed ride. The radi-
al-ply tires used on this vehicle are of
belted construction, and are selected
to complement the ride and handling
When  driving  on  roads  cov-
ered with snow or ice, drive at
less than 20 mph (30 km/h).
Use the SAE “S” class or wire
chains.
If  you  hear  noise caused  by
chains  contacting   the  body,
retighten  the  chain  to   avoid
contact with the vehicle body.
To   prevent    body   damage,
retighten the chains after driv-
ing 0.3~0.6 miles (0.5~1.0 km).
Do   not  use   tire   chains  on
vehicles  equipped   with   alu-
minum  wheels.    In   unavoid-
able circumstance, use a  wire
type chain.
Use wire chains less than 0.47
inches   (12  mm)   to   prevent
damage  to   the  chain’s  con-
nection.
Tire chains
Tire chains,  if necessary,  should be
installed on the front wheels.
Be sure that  the chains are installed
in  accordance with  the  manufactur-
er's instructions.
To minimize  tire and chain  wear, do
not continue to use  tire chains when
they are no longer needed.
characteristics
of
your
vehicle.
Radial-ply tires  have the  same load
carrying capacity, as bias-ply  or bias
belted tires of the same size, and use
the   same  recommended    inflation
pressure.  Mixing  of  radial-ply   tires
with  bias-ply or  bias  belted  tires  is
not   recommended.  Any   combina-
tions of radial-ply and bias-ply or bias
belted tires when  used on the  same
vehicle   will   seriously    deteriorate
vehicle handling. The best rule to fol-
low is: Identical radial-ply tires should
always be used as a set of  four.
Longer  wearing  tires  can  be  more
susceptible to irregular tread  wear. It
is  very  important  to  follow  the  tire
rotation interval shown in this section
to achieve  the tread  life potential  of
these  tires.  Cuts  and  punctures  in
radial-ply tires  are repairable only  in
the tread  area,  because of  sidewall
flexing.  Consult your  tire  dealer  for
radial-ply tire repairs.
