Tire replacement
Tread wear indicator
When a tire unevenly wears out, a
tread wear indicator, in a pattern of a
solid band, appears over the tread.
This indicates that there is less than
1/16 inch (1.6 mm) of tread left.
When finding it, replace the tire.
Do not delay the tire replacement,
until all the indicators appear over
the entire tire tread.
WARNING
- Replacing tires
To reduce the risk of a serious
or fatal injury, caused by a tire
failure or a loss of vehicle con-
trol, follow the below warnings:
• Replace
tires,
severely worn out, unevenly
wear out, or damaged. Worn-
out tires may degrade the
braking effects, steering con-
trol, and traction.
• Do not drive your vehicle with
overinflated or underinflated
tires. This may cause uneven
abrasion or a tire failure.

• When replacing tires of your
vehicle, never mix radial-ply
tires and bias-ply tires. You
must replace all the tires
(including the spare) when
changing from radial-ply tires
to bias-ply tires.
• Tires and wheels in the differ-
ent sizes may cause abnormal
handling and poor vehicle
control, resulting in a serious
accident.

• Wheels, which do not satisfy
the HYUNDAI's specifications,
may be unfit and result in a
vehicle damage, abnormal
handling and poor vehicle
control.
• The ABS operates upon com-
paring the wheel speeds. A
tire size determines a wheel
speed. When replacing tires,
all the tires must be in the
same size as the original
ones. Installing tires in a dif-
ferent size may cause irregu-
lar operation of the ABS (Anti-
lock Brake System) and ESC
(Electronic Stability Control).
