Tyre traction

Tyre traction can be reduced if you
drive on worn tyres, tyres that are
improperly inflated or on slippery
road surfaces. Tyres should be
replaced when tread wear indicators
appear. Slow down whenever there
is rain, snow or ice on the road to
reduce the possibility of losing con -
trol of the vehicle.

Tyre maintenance

In addition to proper inflation, cor -
rect wheel alignment helps to
decrease tyre wear. If you find a
tyre is worn unevenly, have a pro -
fessional workshop check the wheel
alignment. Kia recommends to visit
an authorised Kia dealer/service
partner.
When you have new tyres installed,
make sure they are balanced. This
will increase vehicle ride comfort
and tyre life. Additionally, a tyre
should always be rebalanced if it is
removed from the wheel.
