Temperature - A, B & C
CAUTION
The temperature grades are A (the
highest), B and C representing the tyre’s
resistance to the generation of heat
and its ability to dissipate heat when
tested under controlled conditions on a
specified indoor laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause
the material of the tyre to degenerate
and reduce tyre life, and excessive
temperature can lead to sudden tyre
failure. Grades B and A represent higher
levels of performance on the laboratory
test wheel than the minimum required
by law.
The side wall of a low aspect ratio
tyre is shorter than the normal one.
Thus, the low-aspect wheel and tyre
are easily damaged. Follow the below
instructions.
śꢀ When driving on a rough road or
driving off a road, be careful not to
damage the tyres and wheels. After
driving, inspect the tyres and wheels.
śꢀ When passing over a pothole, speed
bump, manhole, or curb stone,
drive the vehicle slowly so as not to
damage the tyres and wheels.
śꢀ When there is an impact on a tyre,
inspect the tyre condition. We
recommend that you contact an
authorised HYUNDAI dealer.
śꢀ Inspect the tyre condition and
pressure every 3,000 km to prevent
tyre damage.
śꢀ It is difficult to recognise a tyre
damage only with your eyes.
When there is a slight hint of a tyre
damage, check and replace the tyre
to prevent the damage caused by air
leakage.
WARNING
The temperature grade for this tyre is
established for a tyre that is properly
inflated and not overloaded. Excessive
speed, under-inflation, over-inflation,
or excessive loading, either separately
or in combination, can cause heat build-
up and possible sudden tyre failure.
This may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident.
Low aspect ratio tyres
(if equipped)
The aspect ratio is lower than 50 on low
aspect ratio tyres.
Because low aspect ratio tyres are
optimised for handling and braking, their
sidewall is a little stiffer than a standard
tyre. Also low aspect ratio tyres tend
to be wider and consequently have a
greater contact patch with the road
surface. In some instances they may
generate more road noise compared with
standard tyres.
śꢀ When a tyre is damaged whilst
driving on a rough road, off a road,
or over obstacles, such as a pothole,
manhole, or curb stone, your
warranty does not cover the damage.
śꢀ The tyre information is specified on
the tyre side wall.
