Kia pride 1997 - Tyre Rotation

e Under inflation results in excessive
wear, poor handling, reduced fuel
economy, and the possibility of
blowout of overheated tyres. Also, low
tyre pressure can cause poor sealing
of the tyre bead. If the tyre pressure is
excessively low, wheel deformation
and/or tyre separation are possible.
So keep your tyre pressures at the
proper levels. If a tyre frequently
needs refilling, have it checked by an
authorized Kia Dealer or a tyre shop.
e Over inflation produces a harsh ride,
handling problems, excessive wear at
the centre of the tyre tread anda
greater possibility of damage from
road hazards.
WARNING!
Over inflation or under inflation
can reduce tyre life, adversely
affect vehicle handling, and lead to
sudden tyre failure. This could
result in loss of vehicle control.

TYRE ROTATION
To equalize tread wear, it is recommended
that the tyres be rotated every 5,000 Km
(3,100 miles), or sooner if irregular wear
develops. During rotation, check the tyres
for correct balance. When rotating tyres,
check for uneven wear and damage.
Abnormal wear is usually caused by incor-
rect tyre pressure, improper wheel align-
ment, out of balance wheels, or severe
braking. After rotation, be sure to bring
the front and rear tyre pressures to speci-
fication and check lug nut tightness.
NOTE
Disc brake pads should be inspected for
wear whenever tyres are rotated.
