Hyundai Santa Cruz Tire Rotation Pattern and Interval

1. Rotate the tires every 8,000 miles (13,000 km) or 12 months, whichever comes first, or sooner if irregular wear develops.
2. Check the tires for correct balance during rotation.
3. Look for uneven wear, bumps or bulges in the tread or sidewall, and visible fabric or cord; replace the tire if found.
4. Bring the front and rear tire pressures to specification after rotation.
5. Check wheel nut tightness; the proper torque is 79.6-94.0 lbf.ft (11.0-13.0 kgf.m).
6. Inspect the disc brake pads for wear whenever the tires are rotated.

• The rotation pattern is shown only in an illustration; the text does not say which tire moves to which position.
• Do not use the compact spare tire for rotation.
• Install unsymmetrical tires with the side marked outside facing out.
