Low aspect ratio tyres: (if equipped)
Low aspect ratio tyres (tyres whose aspect ratio is lower than 50) are provided for sporty looks.
Because low aspect ratio tyres are optimized for handling and braking, it may be more uncomfortable to ride in vehicles equipped with them, and they make more noise than normal tyres.
Because the sidewall of a low aspect ratio tyre is shorter than normal, the wheel and tyre are more easily damaged. Follow these recommendations:
-
When driving on a rough road or off road, drive cautiously to avoid damaging the tyres and wheels. After driving, inspect the tyres and wheels.
-
When passing over a pothole, speed bump, manhole, or kerb stone, drive slowly to avoid damaging the tyres and wheels.
-
If the tyre sustains impact, inspect the tyre’s condition or have your vehicle serviced by a professional workshop. Kia recommends visiting an authorised Kia dealer/service partner.
-
To prevent damage to the tyres, inspect their condition and pressure every 3,000 km (1,900 miles).
-
It is not easy to visually recognise tyre damage. If there is a hint of tyre damage, even though you cannot see it, have the tyre checked or replaced because damage may cause air to leak from the tyre.
-
If you damage the tyres by driving on a rough road, off road, or over a pothole, manhole, or kerb stone, they are not covered by your warranty.
-
You can locate the tyre information on the tyre sidewall.
