Temperature -A, B & C
Low aspect ratio tire (if equipped)
(Continued)
The  temperature grades  are A  (the
highest),  B and  C  representing  the
tire’s resistance  to the generation  of
heat and  its ability  to dissipate heat
when tested  under controlled condi-
tions on a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel. Sustained  high tempera-
ture can cause the material of the tire
to  degenerate  and  reduce  tire  life,
and excessive temperature  can lead
to sudden  tire failure. Grades B  and
A represent higher levels of perform-
ance  on  the  laboratory  test  wheel
than  the  minimum  required  by  the
law.
Low aspect ratio tires, whose  aspect
ratio is  lower  than 50,  are provided
for sporty looks.
Because  the  low  aspect  ratio  tires
are optimized for  handling and brak-
ing, it may be more uncomfortable to
ride in and there  is more noise com-
pare with normal tires.
-
If the  tire is impacted,  we rec-
ommend  that you  inspect  the
tire  condition   or   contact  an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
- To prevent damage  to the tire,
inspect the  tire  condition and
pressure every 3,000km.
CAUTION
CAUTION
Because the sidewall of  the low
aspect ratio  tire is shorter  than
the normal, the wheel and tire of
the low aspect  ratio tire is easi-
er to be damaged. So, follow the
instructions below.
It is not  easy to recognize the
tire   damage  with   your  own
eyes. But if there is the  slight-
est  hint of  tire  damage, even
though you cannot see the tire
damage  with  your own  eyes,
have   the    tire    checked   or
replaced    because    the   tire
damage  may  cause  air  leak-
age from the tire.
