Wheel alignment and tire bal-
ance
Tire replacement
WARNING
The  wheels  on   your  vehicle  were
aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory to give you the longest tire life
and best overall performance.
In most  cases, you  will not  need  to
have  your   wheels   aligned   again.
However,  if  you notice  unusual  tire
wear or your vehicle pulling  one way
or the other, the alignment may need
to be reset.
Tread wear indicator
To reduce the  risk of DEATH  or
SERIOUS INJURY:
Replace   tires   that  are   worn,
show uneven wear,  or are dam-
aged. Worn tires can cause loss
of braking  effectiveness, steer-
ing control, and traction.
Always  replace   tires  with  the
same size as  each tire that was
originally   supplied    with   this
vehicle. Using tires  and wheels
other  than   the   recommended
sizes could cause unusual han-
dling characteristics, poor vehi-
cle control,  or negatively  affect
your  vehicle’s Anti-Lock  Brake
System   (ABS)   resulting   in  a
serious accident.
If  you  notice  your  vehicle vibrating
when driving on a smooth road, your
wheels may need to be rebalanced.
OLMB073027
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.
CAUTION
Improper   wheel   weights   can
damage    your   vehicle’s    alu-
7
minum
wheels.
Use
only
Tires  degrade  over  time,  even
when they  are  not being  used.
Regardless   of   the  remaining
tread,   HYUNDAI  recommends
that  tires be  replaced  after six
approved wheel weights.
