TIRE BALANCING

A tire that is out of balance may affect
handling and tire wear. The tires on
your Hyundai were balanced before
the car was delivered but may need
balancing again during the years you
own the car.
Whenever a tire is dismounted for
repair, it should be rebalanced before
being reinstalled on the car.

TIRE TRACTION

Tire traction can be reduced if you
drive on worn tires, tires that are im-
properly inflated or on slippery road
surfaces. Tires should be replaced
when tread wear indicators appear. To
reduce the possibility of losing control,
slow down whenever there is rain,
snow or ice on the road.
