Tire Rotation - Kia Soul 2022 Owner's Manual

Maintenance
1. Remove the valve cap from the
tire valve stem.
2. Press the tire gauge firmly onto
the valve to get a pressure mea -
surement. If the cold tire inflation
pressure matches the recom -
mended pressure on the tire and
loading information label, no fur -
ther adjustment is necessary.
3. If the pressure is low, add air until
you reach the recommended
amount.
4. If you overfill the tire, release air
by pushing on the metal stem in
the center of the tire valve.
5. Recheck the tire pressure with
the tire gauge.
6. Be sure to put the valve caps back
on the valve stems. They help
prevent leaks by keeping out dirt
and moisture.
Inspect your tires frequently for
proper inflation as well as wear and
damage. Always use a tire pressure
gauge.
Tires with too much or too little
pressure wear unevenly causing
poor handling, loss of vehicle con -
trol, and sudden tire failure leading
to accidents, injuries, and even
death. The recommended cold tire
pressure for your vehicle can be
found in this manual and on the tire
label located on the driver's side
center pillar.

Tire rotation

To equalize tread wear, it is recom -
mended that the tires be rotated
every 6,000 miles (10,000 km) (For
Turbo engine), 7,500 miles (12,000
km) (For Non Turbo engine) 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 align -
ment, out of-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 pres -
sures to specification and check lug
nut tightness.
Refer to "Tires and wheels" on page
8-5.
Disc brake pads should be inspected
for wear whenever tires are
rotated.
