Hyundai Elantra: Tire rotation
This section provides the fuse panel diagrams and explains which systems are protected by each fuse in your Hyundai Elantra.
To equalize tread wear, it is recommended that the tires be rotated every 7,500 miles (12,000 km) 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, outof- balance wheels, severe braking or severe cornering. Look for bumps or bulges in the tread or side of tire. Replace the tire if you find either 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.
Without a spare tire
Disc brake pads should be inspected for wear whenever tires are rotated.
✽ NOTICE
Rotate radial tires that have an asymmetric tread pattern only from front to rear and not from right to left.
WARNING
- Do not use the compact spare tire (if equipped) for tire rotation.
- Do not mix bias ply and radial ply tires under any circumstances. This may cause unusual handling characteristics that could result in death, severe injury, or property damage.
Maintaining the manufacturer’s recommended cold tire inflation pressure is essential for the optimal performance of your Hyundai Elantra. These values are calculated to provide the best balance of safety, fuel efficiency, and comfort under typical driving conditions. Cold pressure refers to measurements taken before the tires have been driven, as heat from driving raises pressure artificially. The recommended values, found on the label inside the driver’s door, ensure proper tire footprint and reduce uneven wear. Ignoring these recommendations can result in increased braking distance, poor cornering, or premature tire failure. Even minor deviations in pressure can compromise handling or affect the effectiveness of driver assistance systems. Seasonal temperature changes can also influence pressure, making regular checks even more critical. Maintaining the correct pressure not only preserves your tires but contributes to a quieter, smoother ride. It’s a simple habit with big safety implications. Always use a calibrated pressure gauge for accuracy.
