NOTICE
We recommend that when replacing
tires, use the same originally sup‐
plied with the vehicles.
If not, that affects driving perform‐
ance.
CAUTION
When replacing the tires, recheck
and tighten the wheel nuts after
driving about 1,000 km If the steer‐
ing wheel shakes or the vehicle vi‐
brates while driving, the tire is out of
balance. Align the tire balance. If the
problem is not solved, contact a pro‐
fessional workshop. Kia recommends
to visit an authorized Kia dealer/
service partner.
WARNING

caused by tire failure or loss of vehi‐
cle c
ontrol:
• Replace tires that are worn, show
une
ven wear, or are damaged.
Worn tires can cause loss of brak‐
ing effectiveness, steering control,
and traction.
• Do not drive your vehicle with too
little
or too much pressure in your
tires. This can lead to uneven wear
and tire failure.
• When replacing tires, never mix ra‐
dial and bias-ply tires on the same
car. You must replace all tires (in‐
cluding the spare) if moving from
radial to bias-ply tires.
• Using tires and wheels other than
the recommended sizes could
cause unusual handling character‐
istics and poor vehicle control, re‐
sulting in a serious accident.
• Wheels that do not meet Kia’s
specifications may fit poorly and
result in damage to the vehicle or
unusual handling and poor vehicle
control.

• The ABS works by comparing the
speed
of the wheels. The tire size
affects wheel speed. When replac‐
ing tires, all 4 tires must use the
same size originally supplied with
the vehicle. Using tires of a differ‐
ent size can cause the ABS (Anti-
lock Brake System) and ESC (Elec‐
tronic Stability Control) to work ir‐
regularly.
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.
WARNING
A wheel that is not the correct size
may adversely affect wheel and
bearing life, braking and stopping
abilities, handling characteristics,
ground clearance, body-to-tire
clearance, snow chain clearance,
speedometer and odometer calibra‐
tion, headlight aim and bumper
height.
