Maintenance Tyres and wheels
Tyre replacement
If the tyre is worn evenly, a tread wear
indicator will appear as a solid band
across the tread.
A: Tread wear indicator
This shows there is less than 1.6 mm of
tread left on the tyre. Replace the tyre
when this happens.
Do not wait for the band to appear
across the entire tread before replacing
the tyre.
The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) works
by comparing the speed of the wheels.
The tyre size affects wheel speed. When
replacing tyres, all 4 tyres must use the
same size originally supplied with the
vehicle. Using tyres of a different size
can cause the ABS and Electronic Stabil
-
ity Control (ESC) to work irregularly.
It is best to replace all four tyres at the
same time. If that is not possible, or nec
-
essary, then replace the two front or two
rear tyres as a pair. Replacing just one
tyre can seriously affect your vehicle's
handling.
NOTICE
We recommend that when replacing
tyres, use the same originally supplied
with the vehicles. If not, that affects driv
-
ing performance.
Compact spare tyre replacement
(if equipped)
A compact spare tyre has a shorter tread
life than a regular size tyre.
Replace it when you can see the tread
wear indicator bars on the tyre. The
replacement compact spare tyre should
be the same size and design tyre as the
one provided with your new vehicle and
should be mounted on the same com
-
pact spare tyre wheel. The compact
spare tyre is not designed to be
mounted on a regular size wheel, and
the compact spare tyre wheel is not
designed for mounting a regular size
tyre.
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.
A wheel with an incorrect size may
adversely affect many things: wheel and
bearing life, braking and stopping abili
-
ties, handling characteristics, ground
clearance, body-to-Tyre clearance, snow
chain clearance, speedometer and
odometer calibration, headlight aiming
and bumper height.
CAUTION
Wheels
Wheels that do not meet Kia specifica -
tions may fit poorly and result in dam -
age to the vehicle or unusual handling
and poor vehicle control.
Tyre traction
Tyre traction can be reduced if you drive
on worn tyres, tyres that are improperly
inflated or on slippery road surfaces.
