Tire Balancing; Tire Traction; When To Replace Tires - Hyundai H-100 Owner's Manual

Tires should be rotated every 5,000 km
(3,000 miles). If you notice that tires are
wearing unevenly between rotations,
have the car checked by a Hyundai
dealer so the cause may be corrected.
After rotating, adjust the tire pressures
and be sure to check wheel nut torque.
!
WARNING:
Do not mix bias-ply and radial-ply
tires under any circumstances. This
may cause dangerous handling char-
acteristics.

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.

WHEN TO REPLACE TIRES

1.6 mm (0.06 in.)
Wear indicator

CONSUMER INFORMATION
The original tires on your car have tread
wear indicators. The tread wear indica-
tors appear when the tread depth is 1.6
mm (0.06 in.). The tire should be re-
placed when these appear as a solid bar
across two or more grooves of the
tread. Always replace your tires with
those of the recommended size. If you
change wheels, the new wheel's rim
width and offset must meet Hyundai
specification.
!
WARNING:
o Driving on worn-out tires is dan-
gerous! Worn-out tires can cause
loss of braking effectiveness,
steering control and traction.
When replacing tires, never mix
radial and bias-ply tires on the
same car. If you replace radial
tires with bias-ply tires, they must
be installed in sets of four.
o Using tires and wheels of other
than the recommended sizes may
cause unusual handling charac-
teristics that may cause death,
serious injury or property dam-
age.
