Low-profile tires, with an aspect ratio of less than 50, are designed for a sporty appearance.

Because low-profile tires are optimized for handling and braking, they may ride harsher and produce more road noise compared with conventional tires.

CAUTION

Because the sidewall of a low-profile tire is shorter than that of a conventional tire, the wheel and low-profile tire are more easily damaged. Therefore, follow the instructions below.

- When driving on rough roads or off-road, drive carefully, as the tires and wheels may be damaged. After driving, inspect the tires and wheels.

- When driving over a pothole, speed bump, manhole, or curb, drive slowly so that the tires and wheels are not damaged.

- If a tire is damaged, we recommend that you inspect the tire condition or contact an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

- To prevent tire damage, check the tire condition and inflation pressure every 1800 miles (3000 km).

CAUTION

  • Tire damage is not easy to recognize visually. However, if there is any sign of tire damage, inspect or replace the tire, because tire damage may cause air to leak from the tire.
  • Damage to a tire caused by driving on rough roads, off-road, or over a pothole, manhole, or curb is not covered by the warranty.
