Tire Rotation; Wheel Alignment And Tire Balance - Hyundai EQUUS 2016 Owner's Manual

Tire rotation

To balance worn-out levels of the tire
tread, rotating the tire positions is
required every 7,500 miles (12,000
km), or sooner, when the irregular
abrasion is detected. While rotating
the positions, correctly balance the
tire positions.
When rotating tires, check for any
uneven abrasion
Abnormal tire abrasion is usually
caused by improper tire pressure,
tilted wheel alignment, unbalanced
wheels, severe braking or hard cor-
nering. Check for any bump or
bulging from the tire side walls. When
finding one of those, replace you tire.
Replace the tire, when a tire cord
fabric is visible. After rotation, make
sure to properly inflate the tires to the
recommended pressure, as speci-
fied, and check the lug-nut tightness.
Disc brake pads should be inspected
for any abrasion, whenever rotating
tires.

Information
The front tire size is different from the
rear tire size. So when you rotate tires,
check sizes of the tires and wheels.
• Do not use the compact spare
• Never mix bias-ply tires and
and damage.
Wheel alignment and tire bal-
ance
The wheels are finely aligned and
balanced at the manufacturing facto-
ry in order to ensure the longest tire
life and the best driving performance.
In most cases, you do not need to
realign the wheels. However, when
detecting unusual tire abrasion or
vehicle leaning to one side, the
realignment may be needed. When
your vehicle vibrates on an even sur-
face, while driving, your wheels may
need to be rebalanced.
NOTICE
Improperly overweighted wheel
may damage your vehicle's alu-
minum wheels. Carry only the
appropriate wheel weights.
