Hyundai Palisade: Tires and wheels / Tire Replacement
If the tire is worn evenly, a tread wear
indicator will appear as a solid band
across the tread. This shows there is
less than 2/32 inch (1.6 mm) of tread
left on the tire. Replace the tire when
this happens.
Do not wait for the tread surface to
become level with the tread wear
indicators before replacing the tire.
CAUTION
When replacing the tires,
recheck and tighten the wheel
nuts after driving about 600
miles (1,000 km). If the steering
wheel shakes or the vehicle
vibrates while driving, the tire is
out of balance. Align the tire
balance. If the problem is not
solved, contact an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY:
- Replace tires that are worn,
show uneven wear, or are
damaged. Worn tires can
cause loss of braking effectiveness,
steering control, and
traction.
- Always replace tires with the
same size as each tire that
was originally supplied with
this vehicle. Using tires and
wheels other than the recommended
sizes could cause
unusual handling characteristics,
poor vehicle control, or
negatively affect your vehicle's
Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS) resulting in a serious
accident.
- Tires degrade over time, even
when they are not being used.
Regardless of the remaining
tread, HYUNDAI recommends
that tires be replaced after six
(6) years of normal service.
- When replacing tires (or
wheels), it is recommended to
replace the two front or two
rear tires (or wheels) as a pair.
Replacing just one tire can
seriously affect your vehicle's
handling. If only replacing one
pair of tires, it is recommended
to install the pair of new
tires on the rear axle.
- Heat caused by hot climates
or frequent high loading conditions
can accelerate the
aging process. Failure to follow
this warning may cause
sudden tire failure, which
could lead to a loss of vehicle
control resulting in an accident.
Compact spare tire replacement
A compact spare tire has a shorter
tread life than a regular size tire.
Replace it when you can see the
tread wear indicator bars on the tire.
The replacement compact spare tire
should be the same size and design
tire as the one provided with your
new vehicle and should be mounted
on the same compact spare tire
wheel. The compact spare tire is not
designed to be mounted on a regular
size wheel, and the compact spare
tire wheel is not designed for mounting
a regular size tire.
WARNING
The original tire should be
repaired or replaced as soon as
possible to avoid failure of the
spare and loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.The
compact spare tire is for emergency
use only. Do not operate
your vehicle over 50 mph (80
km/h) when using the compact
spare tire.
The wheels on your vehicle were
aligned and balanced carefully at the
factory to give you the longest tire life
and best overall performance.
In most cases, you will not need to
have your wheels aligned again...
Wheel Replacement
When replacing the metal wheels for
any reason, make sure the new
wheels are equivalent to the original
factory units in diameter, rim width
and offset...
