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 Wheels that do not meet Hyundai's
dimensional specifications may
fit poorly and result in damage to
the vehicle, including broken
wheel studs.
!
WARNING:
o Your vehicle is equipped with tires
designed to provide for safe ride
and handling capability.
Do not use a size and type of tire
and wheel that is different from the
one that is originally installed on
your vehicle. It can affect the safety
and performance of your vehicle,
which could lead to handling fail-
ure or rollover and serious injury.
When replacing the tires, be sure
to equip all four tires with the tire
and wheel of the same size, type,
tread, brand and load-carrying
capacity. If you nevertheless de-
cide to equip your vehicle with
any tire/wheel combination not rec-
ommended by Hyundai for off-
road driving, you should not use
these tires for highway driving.

TIRE MAINTENANCE

In addition to proper inflation, correct
wheel alignment helps to decrease tire
wear. If you find a tire is worn unevenly,
have your dealer check the wheel align-
ment.
When you have new tires installed,
make sure they are balanced. This will
increase vehicle ride comfort and tire
life. Additionally, a tire shoud always be
rebalanced if it is removed from the
wheel.
