The importance of tyre maintenance.
Tyres need more attention than just replacing them when they’re worn. Well-maintained tyres optimise your Kia’s safety and performance, so they need to be looked after. The tyre care advice and information below is a good place to start. But for professional expertise supported by specialist tools, rely on the experienced technicians at your Kia authorised dealer.

What you should know about caring for your tyres.
-
Your tyres can have a significant effect on driving safety due to their inflation pressure, tread depth or wheel alignment. Checking pressure and tread wear (at least once a month) is relatively simple. Knowing when, how and whether you should rotate tyres demands more expertise. So does identifying and resolving incorrect wheel alignment.
-
Tyre pressure.
Overinflated tyres (A) wear irregularly and affect handling when cornering. Underinflated tyres (B) wear out faster, affect steering responsiveness and increase fuel consumption. Incorrect pressures also affect braking performance – including stopping distances. Tyres inflated to the correct pressure (C) can last longer, reduce fuel consumption and help ensure safer driving.
If your tyres lose pressure rapidly or frequently, consult your Kia authorised dealer as soon as possible.
Wheel alignment.
Incorrect wheel alignment may cause greater wear on the inside edge of your tyres (A) or the outside edge (B). Correctly aligned wheels are parallel to each other on each axle and at 90° to a level road surface (C). Wheel alignment requires specialist equipment and expert knowledge. If you suspect your Kia’s wheel alignment needs adjustment, contact your Kia authorised dealer.
Tyre rotation.
Tyre rotation can help to minimise tyre wear and maximise tyre life. There are several different ways in which tyres can be moved around on the vehicle depending on the type of tyre and whether the vehicle is front-, rear- or four-wheel drive. Rotation sequences include: (A) always moving the most worn tyres in the worst condition to the front; (B) a rear-to-front, front-to-rear and side-to-side rotation; (C) a simple front–rear swap. Talk to your Kia authorised dealer for up-to-date advice and guidance.
-
Checking tread depth.
Most tyres have wear indicators: rubber bars incorporated into the tread pattern. When they are level with the tyre surface, the tyres has to be changed. However, it is generally recommended to change tyres when they reach a minimum 4 mm tread depth. Your Kia authorised dealer can check your tyres and change them for you if required.
Professional tyre change for your peace of mind.

When it’s time to change your tyres – whether for the changing seasons or due to wear – it’s important to have the job done professionally. Kia-trained technicians have the experience, tools and expertise you need for the peace of mind you want.

Changing seasons, changing tyres
With summer, winter and all-season tyres to choose from, you can select the most appropriate option for the season, the general driving conditions and your driving style. As your only connection to the road, your Kia’s tyres are essential to safety and performance. So, we explain the options to help you decide.
-
Summer tyres
Suitable for all seasons apart from winter, summer tyres are low noise with a high ride quality. Their lower rolling resistance also helps to reduce fuel consumption. To make it easy to switch tyres according to the season, keep your winter tyres at your Kia authorised dealer, ready to be expertly swapped.
-
Winter tyres
Temperatures below 7°C reduce the flexibility of rubber. This can reduce a tyre’s grip. Winter tyres are made from rubber compounds which retain flexibility. They also have specially-designed treads to help them dig into snow and grip on ice.
-
All-season tyres
All-season tyres are a good choice for a wide range of conditions and temperatures. However, on wet and icy roads, they will grip less than winter tyres. For pushing cornering and control to the limit, summer tyres will be more effective on dry summer roads.
