All Season Tires; Summer Tires; Snow Tires; Radial-Ply Tires - Hyundai Palisade 2024 Owner's Manual

Maintenance

All Season Tires

HYUNDAI specifies all season tires on
some models to provide good
performance for use all year round,
including snowy and icy road
conditions. All season tires are
identified by ALL SEASON and/or
M+S (Mud and Snow) on the tire
sidewall. Snow tires have better snow
traction than all season tires and may
be more appropriate in some areas.

Summer Tires

HYUNDAI specifies summer tires on
some models to provide superior
performance on dry roads. Summer
tire performance is substantially
reduced in snow and ice. Summer
tires do not have the tire traction
rating M+S (Mud and Snow) on the
tire side wall. If you plan to operate
your vehicle in snowy or icy
conditions, HYUNDAI recommends
the use of snow tires or all season
tires on all four wheels.

Snow Tires

If you equip your car with snow tires,
they should be the same size and
have the same load capacity as the
original tires. Snow tires should be
installed on all four wheels;
otherwise, poor handling may result.
Snow tires should carry 4 psi (28 kPa)
more air pressure than the pressure
recommended for the standard tires
on the tire label on the driver's side of
the center pillar, or up to the
maximum pressure shown on the tire
sidewall, whichever is less. Do not
drive faster than 75 mph (120 km/h)
when your vehicle is equipped with
snow tires.

Radial-Ply Tires

Radial-ply tires provide improved
tread life, road hazard resistance and
smoother high speed ride. The
radial-ply tires used on this vehicle
are of belted construction, and are
selected to complement the ride and
handling characteristics of your
vehicle. Radial-ply tires have the
same load carrying capacity, as
bias-ply or bias belted tires of the
same size, and use the same
recommended inflation pressure.
Mixing of radial-ply tires with bias-ply
or bias belted tires is not
recommended. Any combinations of
radial-ply and bias-ply or bias belted
tires when used on the same vehicle
will seriously deteriorate vehicle
handling. The best rule to follow is:
Identical pairs of radial-ply tires
should always be used as a set for the
front tires and a set for the rear tires.
Longer wearing tires can be more
susceptible to irregular tread wear. It
is very important to follow the tire
rotation interval in this chapter to
achieve the tread life potential of
these tires. Cuts and punctures in
radial-ply tires are repairable only in
the tread area, because of sidewall
flexing. Consult your tire dealer for
radial-ply tire repairs.
WARNING
Do not mix bias ply and radial ply tires
under any circumstances. This may
cause unusual handling
characteristics that may cause loss of
vehicle control resulting in an
accident.
