Maintenance
Low aspect ratio tyre
(if equipped)
Low aspect ratio tyres, whose aspect
ratio is lower than 50, are provided
for sporty looks.
Because the low aspect ratio tyres
are optimized for handling and brak-
ing, it may be more uncomfortable to
ride in and there is more noise com-
pare with normal tyres.
WARNING
- Tyre
temperature
The temperature grade for this
tyre is established for a tyre that
is properly inflated and not
overloaded. Excessive speed,
underinflation,
or excessive
loading, either separately or in
combination, can cause heat
build-up and possible sudden
tyre failure. This can cause loss
of vehicle control and serious
injury or death.
CAUTION
Because the sidewall of the low
aspect ratio tyre is shorter than
the normal, the wheel and tyre
of the low aspect ratio tyre is
easier to be damaged. So, follow
the instructions below.
• When driving on a rough road
or off road, drive cautiously
because tyres and wheels may
be damaged. And after driving,
inspect tyres and wheels.
• When passing over a pothole,
speed bump, manhole or kerb
stone, drive slowly so that the
tyres and wheels are not dam-
aged.
• If the tyre is impacted, inspect
the tyre condition or contact a
professional workshop. Kia
recommends to visit an autho-
rised Kia dealer/service part-
ner.
• To prevent damage to the tyre,
inspect the tyre condition and
pressure every 3,000 km.
