Driving your vehicle
Summer tires
Summer tires are used to maximize
the driving performance on dry roads.
If the temperature is below 44.6°F
(7°C) or you are driving on snowy or
icy roads, the summer tires lose their
brake performance and traction as
the tire grip weakens significantly.
If the temperature is below 44.6°F
(7°C) or you are driving on snowy
or icy roads, mount snow tires or all
season tires of the same size with your
vehicle's standard tire for safe driving.
Both snow and all season tires have
M+S markings.
When using the M+S tires, use tires
with the same tread produced by the
same manufacturer for safe driving.
When driving with the M+S tires with
the lower maximum allowable speed
than that of the vehicle's standard
summer tire, be careful not to exceed
the speed allowed for the M+S tires.

Tire chains
Since the sidewalls of radial tires are
thinner than other types of tires, they
may be damaged by mounting some
types of tire chains on them. Therefore
the use of snow tires is preferred over the
use of tire chains.
If the road and weather conditions
require the use of tire chains, be sure to
use tire chains that have been properly
selected for the size of tire on your
HYUNDAI vehicle.
Be sure to follow the guidelines and
installation instructions provided from
the tire chain manufacturer.
Damage to your vehicle caused by
improper tire chain use is not covered by
your vehicle manufacturer's warranty.
