Tire Rotation - Kia XCeed 2020 Owner's Manual

Maintenance
• Worn tires can cause accidents.
Replace tires that are worn, show
uneven wear, or are damaged.
• Remember to check the
pressure of your spare tire. Kia
recommends that you check the
spare every time you check the
pressure of the other tires on your
vehicle.

Tire rotation

To equalize tread wear, it is
recommended that the tires be
rotated every 10,000 km (6,500
miles) or sooner if irregular wear
develops.
During rotation, check the tires for
correct balance.
When rotating tires, check for
uneven wear and damage. Abnormal
wear is usually caused by incorrect
tire pressure, improper wheel
alignment, outof- balance wheels,
severe braking or severe cornering.
Look for bumps or bulges in the
tread or side of tire. Replace the
tire if you find either of these
conditions. Replace the tire if fabric
or cord is visible. After rotation, be
sure to bring the front and rear tire
pressures to specification and check
lug nut tightness.
Refer to "Tires and wheels (5 Door,
Wagon, Shooting brake)" on page 9-

Disc brake pads should be inspected
for wear whenever tires are rotated.
NOTICE
Rotate radial tires that have an
asymmetric tread pattern only from
front to rear and not from right to
left.
WARNING
• Do not use the compact spare tire
for tire rotation.
• Do not mix bias ply and radial ply
tires under any circumstances.
This may cause unusual handling
characteristics that could result in
death, severe injury, or property
damage.
