Hyundai Elantra: Tires and Wheels / Tire Rotation
To equalize tread wear, HYUNDAI
recommends that the tires be rotated
according to the maintenance schedule
or sooner if irregular wear develops.
During rotation, check the tires for
correct balance.
When rotating tires, check for uneven
wear and damage. Abnormal wear is
usually caused by incorrect tire pressure,
improper wheel alignment, out-ofbalance
wheels, severe braking or severe
cornering. Look for bumps or bulges in
the tread or side of the tire. Replace the
tire if you find any of these conditions.
Replace the tire if fabric or cord is visible.
After rotation, be sure to bring the front
and rear tire pressures to specification
and check lug nut tightness (proper
torque is 79~94 lbf·ft [11~13 kgf·m]).

Without a spare tire
Disc brake pads should be inspected for
wear whenever tires are rotated.
Information
Tires that are asymmetrical or
directional can only be installed
on the wheel in one direction. The
outside and inside of an asymmetrical
tire is not easily distinguishable. Pay
careful attention to the markings on
the sidewalls of the tires, noting the
“outside” marking and also the rotating
direction before installing them on the
vehicle.
WARNING
- Do not use the compact spare tire for
tire rotation.
- 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.
Check your tires, including the spare tire,
once a month or more.
How to check
Use a good quality tire pressure gauge
to check tire pressure. You can not tell
if your tires are properly inflated simply
by looking at them...
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...

Emergency Trunk Safety Release lever
