Tyre rotation
To equalize tread wear, Genesis
recommends that the tyres be rotated
every 7,500 miles or sooner if irregular
wear develops.
During rotation, check the tyres for
correct balance.
When rotating tyres, check for uneven
wear and damage. Abnormal wear
is usually caused by incorrect tyre
pressure, improper wheel alignment,
out-of-balance wheels, severe braking
or severe cornering. Look for bumps or
bulges in the tread or side of the tyre.
Replace the tyre if you find any of these
conditions. Replace the tyre if fabric or
cord is visible. After rotation, be sure to
bring the front and rear tyre pressures
to specification and check wheel bolt
tightness (proper torque is 14~16 kgf.m
[101~116 lbf.ft]).

Disc brake pads should be inspected for
wear whenever tyres are rotated.
Information
The outside and inside of the
unsymmetrical tyre is distinguishable.
When installing an unsymmetrical tyre, be
sure to install the side marked “outside”
face the outside. If the side marked
“inside” is installed on the outside, it
will have a negative effect on vehicle
performance.
WARNING
• Do not use the compact spare tyre
for tyre rotation.
• Do not mix bias ply and radial ply
tyres under any circumstances.
This may cause unusual handling
characteristics that may cause loss
of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.
