  - Tyre terminology and definitions
    Refer to the following list for detailed definitions of the terms found in the tyre description:
  - Tyre sidewall labeling
    This information identifies and describes the fundamental characteristics of the tyre and provides the Tyre Identification Number (TIN) for safety standard certification.
  - Checking tyre inflation pressure
    Check your tyres once a month or more.
  - Tyre maintenance
    In addition to proper inflation, correct wheel alignment helps to prevent wear on the tyres.
  - Wheel alignment and tyre balance
    The wheels on your vehicle were aligned and balanced carefully at the factory to give you the longest tyre life and best overall performance.
  - Tyre rotation
    To equalize tread wear, it is recommended that you rotate the tyres every 10,000 km (6,500 miles) or sooner if irregular wear develops.
  - Tyre traction
    Driving on worn tyres, improperly inflated tyres, or slippery road surfaces may reduce the tyre traction.
  - Wheel and tyre installation
    When removing and installing wheels and tyres, use the tool for removing the wheel cover inside the tool case to remove the wheel cover. The remover tool insertion hole is located at the top or edge of the wheel cover.
  - Tyre replacement
    If the tyre is worn evenly, a tread wear indicator appears as a solid band across the tread.
  - 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.
  - All season tyres
    Kia specifies all season tyres on some models to provide good performance for use all year round, including for snowy and icy road conditions.
  - Summer tyres
    Kia specifies summer tyres on some models to provide superior performance on dry roads.
  - Snow tyres
    If you equip your vehicle with snow tyres, they should be the same size and have the same load capacity as the original tyres.
  - Tyre chains
    Tyre chains, if necessary, should be installed on the front wheels.
  - Radial-ply tyres
    Radial-ply tyres provide improved tread life, road hazard resistance, and a smoother high-speed ride.
  - Low aspect ratio tyres
    Low aspect ratio tyres (tyres whose aspect ratio is lower than 50) are provided for sporty looks.
