- Tires and wheels
  - Tire terminology and definitions
    Refer to the following list for detailed definitions of the terms found in the tire description:
  - Tire sidewall labeling
    This information identifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tire and provides the Tire Identification Number (TIN) for safety standard certification.
  - Checking tire inflation pressure
    Check your tires once a month or more.
  - Tire maintenance
    In addition to proper inflation, correct wheel alignment helps to prevent wear on the tires.
  - Wheel alignment and tire balance
    The wheels on your vehicle were aligned and balanced carefully at the factory to give you the longest tire life and best overall performance.
  - Tire rotation
    To equalize tread wear, it is recommended that you rotate the tires every 8,000 miles (13,000 km) or sooner if irregular wear develops.
  - Tire traction
    Driving on worn tires, improperly inflated tires, or slippery road surfaces may reduce the tire traction.
  - Wheel and tire installation
    When removing and installing wheels and tires, use the tool for removing the wheel cover inside the tool case to remove the wheel cover. The remover tool insertion hole is located at the top or edge of the wheel cover.
  - Tire replacement
    If the tire is worn evenly, a tread wear indicator appears as a solid band across the tread.
  - 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.
  - All season tires
    Kia specifies all season tires on some models to provide good performance for use all year round, including for snowy and icy road conditions.
  - Summer tires
    Kia specifies summer tires on some models to provide superior performance on dry roads.
  - Snow tires
    If you equip your vehicle with snow tires, they should be the same size and have the same load capacity as the original tires.
  - Tire chains
    Tire chains, if necessary, should be installed on the front wheels.
  - Radial-ply tires
    Radial-ply tires provide improved tread life, road hazard resistance, and a smoother high-speed ride.
