Hyundai i30 (PD): Tyres and wheels / Low aspect ratio tyres

A low aspect ratio tyre, of which the aspect ratio is lower than 50, is designed for a sporty-look vehicle. The low aspect ratio is to optimize handling and braking. Thus, it may be uncomfortable to ride and it may generate noises, in comparison with a normal tyre.

CAUTION

The side wall of a low aspect ratio tyre is shorter than the nor- mal one. Thus, the lowaspect wheel and tyre are easily dam- aged. Follow the below instructions.

• 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.
• When passing over a pothole, speed bump, manhole, or kerb stone, slowly drive the vehicle not to damage the tyres and wheels.
• When there is an impact on a tyre, inspect the tyre condition. Or, contact a HYUNDAI authorised repairer.
• Inspect the tyre condition and pressure every 1,800 miles (3,000 km) to prevent a tyre damage.
• 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.
• When a tyre is damaged whilst driving on a rough road, off a road, or over obstacles, such as a pothole, manhole, or kerb stone, your warranty does not cover the damage.
• The tyre information is specified on the tyre side wall.
