Tire replacement
If the tire is worn evenly, a tread wear
indicator (A) will appear as a solid
band across the tread. This shows
there is less than 1.6 mm (1/16 in.) of
tread left on the tire. Replace the tire
when this happens.
Do not wait for the band to appear
across the entire tread before replac-
ing the tire.

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 50km
(31miles) and recheck after driv-
ing about 1,000km (620miles). If
the steering wheel shakes or the
vehicle vibrates while driving,
the tire is out of balance. Align
the tire balance. If the problem
is not solved, we recommend
that you contact an authorized
kia dealer.
WARNING - Replacing
tires
To reduce the chance of serious
or fatal injuries from an acci-
dent caused by tire failure or
loss of vehicle control:
• Replace tires that are worn,
show uneven wear, or are dam-
aged. Worn tires can cause
loss of braking 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 radial and bias-ply tires
on the same car. You must
replace all tires (including the
spare) if moving from radial to
bias-ply tires.
