Hyundai Sonata: Tires and Wheels / Wheel Replacement & Tire Traction & Tire Maintenance
Wheel Replacement
When replacing the metal wheels for any reason, make sure the new wheels are equivalent to the original factory units in diameter, rim width and offset.
Tire Traction
Tire traction can be reduced if you drive on worn tires, tires that are improperly inflated or on slippery road surfaces. Tires should be replaced when tread wear indicators appear. To reduce the possibility of losing control, slow down whenever there is rain, snow or ice on the road.

across the tread. This shows there is less than 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) of tread left
