Low aspect ratio tires: (if equipped)

Low aspect ratio tires (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 vehicles equipped with them, and they make more noise than normal tires.

NOTE

Because the sidewall of a low aspect ratio tire is shorter than normal, the wheel and tire are more easily damaged. Follow these recommendations:

  • When driving on a rough road or off-road, drive cautiously to avoid damaging the tires and wheels. After driving, inspect the tires and wheels.

  • When passing over a pothole, speed bump, manhole, or curb stone, drive slowly to avoid damaging the tires and wheels.

  • If the tire sustains impact, have the tire inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

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

  • It is not easy to visually recognize tire damage. If there is a hint of tire damage, even though you cannot see it, have the tire checked or replaced because damage may cause air to leak from the tire.

  • If you damage the tires by driving on a rough road, off-road, or over a pothole, manhole, or curb stone, they are not covered by your warranty.

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