WARNING - Replacing
tires
To reduce the chance or serious
or  fatal  injuries  from  an  acci-
dent  caused  by  tire  failure  or
loss of vehicle control:
Using  tires  and  wheel  other
than  the recommended  sizes
could cause unusual handling
characteristics and poor vehi-
cle control, resulting in a seri-
ous accident.
Wheels   that    do   not    meet
HYUNDAI’s
may  fit  poorly  and  result  in
damage   to   the    vehicle   or
unusual   handling  and   poor
vehicle control.
Replace  tires  that  are  worn,
show   uneven   wear,  or   are
specifications
damaged.    Worn
tires
can
cause  loss  of  braking  effec-
tiveness, steering control, and
traction.
OEN076053
Tire replacement
Do not drive your vehicle with
too little or too much pressure
in your  tires. This can lead  to
uneven wear and tire failure.
•  When  replacing   tires,  never
mix  radial  and  bias-ply  tires
on  the   same  car.  You  must
replace all tires (including  the
spare) if moving from radial to
bias-ply tires.
If the tire is worn evenly, a tread wear
indicator will appear  as a solid band
across the tread. This shows there is
less than 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) of tread
left on the tire. Replace the tire when
this happens.
Do  not wait  for the  band  to appear
across the entire tread before replac-
ing the tire.
The ABS works by comparing
the speed  of  the wheels. Tire
size  can  affect  wheel speed.
When   replacing   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
(Electronic
Stability
(Continued)
Control) to work irregularly.
