Low aspect ratio tire (if equipped)

Low aspect ratio tires, whose aspect ratio is lower than 50, are provided for sporty looks.

Because 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 a low aspect ratio tire is shorter than normal, the wheel and tire of a low aspect ratio tire is more easily damaged. 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 a tire is impacted, inspect the tire condition or contact an authorized Kia dealer.

  • To prevent damage to the tire, inspect the tire condition and pressure every 1,900 miles (3,000 km).

  • It is not easy to recognize the tire damage with your eyes. If there is a hint of tire damage, even though you cannot see the tire damage, have the tire checked or replaced because the tire damage may cause air leakage.

  • If the tire is damaged from driving on a rough road, off road, pothole, manhole, or curb stone, it will not be covered by your warranty.

  • You can find the tire information on the tire sidewall.
