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 widthand offset.WARNING
When replacing tyres, never mix radial, bias-belted, and
bias-type tyres. All four tyres
should be of the same size,
design and construction. Use
only the tyre sizes listed on
the Tyre Label found below the
door striker on the driver’s
side. Make sure that all tyres
and wheels are the same size
and have the same load-carry-
ing capacity. Use only tyre andwheel combinations recom-
mended on the Tyre Label or
by an Authorized Kia Dealer.
Failure to follow these precau-
tions can adversely affect the
safety and handling of your
vehicle.
(Continued)(Continued)
The use of any other tyre sizeor type may seriously affect
ride, handling, ground clear-
ance, tyre clearance, andspeedometer calibration.
Driving on worn-out tyres is very hazardous and will
reduce braking effectiveness,
steering accuracy, and trac-tion.
It is best to replace all four tyres at the same time. If that
is not possible, or necessary,
then replace the two front or
two rear tyres as a pair.Replacing just one tyre can
seriously affect your vehicle’shandling.
WARNING
A wheel that is not the correct
size may adversely affect wheel
and bearing life, braking and
stopping abilities, handling
characteristics, ground clear-
ance, body-to-tyre clearance,
snow chain clearance,
speedometer calibration, head-
light aim and bumper height.

cuitry, have the vehicle checked by
