僅 Radial-Ply Tires - Kia EV9 2024 Manual

Maintenance
Summer tires
Kia specifies summer tires on
some models to provide superior
performance on dry roads.
Summer tire performance is sub -
stantially reduced in snow and
ice. Summer tires do not have the
tire traction rating M+S (Mud and
Snow) on the tire side wall. if you
plan to operate your vehicle in
snowy or icy conditions, Kia rec -
ommends the use of snow tires
or all season tires on all four
wheels.
Snow tires
If you equip your vehicle with
snow tires, they should be the
same size and have the same
load capacity as the original tires.
Snow tires should be installed on
all four wheels; otherwise, poor
handling may result.
Snow tires should carry 4 psi (28
kPa) more air pressure than the
pressure recommended for the
standard tires on the tire label on
the driver's side of the center pil -
lar, or up to the maximum pres -
sure shown on the tire sidewall,
whichever is less.
Do not drive faster than 120 km/
h (75 mph) when your vehicle is
equipped with snow tires.

WARNING
Do not use summer tires at tem -
peratures below 45 °F (7 °C) or
when driving on snow or ice. At
temperatures below 45 °F (7 °C),
summer tires can lose elasticity,
traction and braking power.
Change the tires on your vehicle
to winter or all-weather tires of
the same size as the standard
tires of the vehicle. Both types of
tires are identified by the M+S
(Mud and Snow) marking. Using
summer tires at very cold tem -
peratures could cause cracks to
form, thereby damaging the tires
permanently.
Radial-ply tires
Radial-ply tires provide improved
tread life, road hazard resistance
and smoother high speed ride.
The radial-ply tires used on this
vehicle are of belted construction
and are selected to complement
the ride and handling character -
istics of your vehicle. Radial-ply
tires have the same load carrying
capacity and use the same rec -
ommended inflation pressure as
bias-ply or bias belted tires of the
same size.
Mixing of radial-ply tires with
bias-ply or bias belted tires is not
recommended. Any combina -
tions of radial-ply and bias-ply or
