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.
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
and offset.
WARNING
will
A wheel that is not the correct
size may adversely affect wheel
and bearing life, braking and
stopping
abilities,
characteristics, ground clear-
ance, body-to-tire clearance,
speedometer calibration, head-
light aim and bumper height.
