Compact Spare Tire Replacement - Kia Ceed Owner's Manual

Maintenance
WARNING
• When replacing tires, never
mix radial, bias-belted, and
bias-type tires. All four tires
should be of the same size,
design and construction. Use
only the tire sizes listed on the
Tire Label found below the
door striker on the driver's
side. Make sure that all tires
and wheels are the same size
and have the same load-carry-
ing capacity. Use only tire and
wheel combinations recom-
mended on the Tire Label or
by an Authorized Kia Dealer.
Failure to follow these precau-
tions can adversely affect the
safety and handling of your
vehicle.

• The use of any other tire size
or type may seriously affect
ride, handling, ground clear-
ance, tire clearance,
speedometer calibration.
• Driving on worn-out tires is
very hazardous and
reduce braking effectiveness,
steering accuracy, and trac-
tion.
• It is best to replace all four
tires at the same time. If that is
not possible, or necessary,
then replace the two front or
two rear tires as a pair.
Replacing just one tire can
seriously affect your vehicle's
handling.

Compact spare tire replacement

(if equipped)
A compact spare tire has a shorter
tread life than a regular size tire.
Replace it when you can see the
and
tread wear indicator bars on the tire.
The replacement compact spare tire
should be the same size and design
will
tire as the one provided with your
new vehicle and should be mounted
on the same compact spare tire
wheel. The compact spare tire is not
designed to be mounted on a regular
size wheel, and the compact spare
tire wheel is not designed for mount-
ing a regular size tire.
