The temperature grade for this tire
is
established for a tire that is prop‐
erly inflated and not overloaded. Ex‐
cessive speed, underinflation, or ex‐
cessive loading, either separately or
in combination, can cause heat build-
up and possible sudden tire failure.
This can cause loss of vehicle control
and serious injury or death.
Low aspect ratio tire (if
equipped)
Low aspect ratio tires, whose aspect
ratio is lower than 50, are provided for
sporty looks.
Because the low aspect ratio tires are
optimized for handling and braking, it
may be more uncomfortable to ride in
and there is more noise compare with
normal tires.
CAUTION
Because the sidewall of the low as‐
pect ratio tire is shorter than the
normal, the wheel and tire of the
low aspect ratio tire is easier to be

damaged. So, follow the instructions
below.
- When driving on a rough road or
off
road, drive cautiously because
tires and wheels may be damaged.
And after driving, inspect tires and
wheels.
- When passing over a pothole,
speed
bump, manhole or curb
stone, drive slowly so that the
tires and wheels are not damaged.
- If the tire is impacted, inspect the
tire condition or contact a profes‐
sional workshop. Kia recommends
to visit an authorized Kia dealer/
service partner.
- To prevent damage to the tire, in‐
spect the tire condition and pres‐
sure every 3,000 km.
CAUTION
• It is not easy to recognize the tire
damage with your own eyes. But if
there is the slightest hint of tire
damage, even though you cannot
see the tire damage with your own
eyes, have the tire checked or re‐
placed because the tire damage
may cause air leakage from the
tire.
• If the tire is damaged by driving on
a rough road, off road, pothole,
manhole, or curb stone, it will not
be covered by the warranty.
• You can find out the tire informa‐
tion on the tire sidewall.
