2005 KIA Rio spare tire

6-23
To prevent the jack, jack handle, wheel lug nut, wrench
and spare tire from rattling while the vehicle is in
motion, store them properly.
WARNING - Wheel Studs
If the studs are damaged, they may lose their
ability to retain the wheel. This could lead to
the loss of the wheel and a collision.✽
NOTICE
Check the inflation pressures as soon as possible
after installing the spare tire. Adjust it to the
specified pressure, if necessary.
Standard Tire: 29 psi
Compact Spare Tire: 60 psi

Tires and WheelsTire CareFor proper maintenance, safety, and maximum fuel
economy, you must always maintain recommended tire
inflation pressures and stay within the load limits and
weight distribution recommended for your vehicle.Inflation PressuresCheck all tire pressures (including the spare) monthly
when the tires are cold. “Cold tires” means the car has
not been driven for at least three hours or driven less
than 1.6 km (one mile). Recommended pressures must
be maintained to ensure ride quality, vehicle handling,
and minimum tire wear.Maintenance7-34
All specifications (sizes and pressures) can be found
on a label attached to the front passenger door sill.
The correct tire pressure is 200 kPa (29 psi)
The compact spare should be at 415 kPa (60 psi).

Tire Rotation
To equalize tread wear, it is recommended that the tires
be rotated every 12,000 km (7,500 miles), or sooner if
irregular wear develops.
✻ ✻
NOTICE
 Warm tires normally exceed recommended
cold tire pressures by 28 to 41 kPa (4 to 6 psi).
Do not release air from warm tires to adjust the
pressure. The tires will become underinflated
when cold.
 Underinflation results in excessive wear, poor
handling, reduced fuel economy, and the
possibility of blowouts from overheated tires.
Also, low tire pressure can cause poor sealing
of the tire bead. If the tire pressure is
excessively low, wheel deformation and/or tire
separation are possible. Keep tire pressures at
the proper levels. If a tire frequently needs
refilling, have it checked by an authorized Kia
dealer or a tire shop.
 Overinflation produces a harsh ride, handling
problems, excessive wear at the center of the
tire tread, and a greater possibility of damage
from road hazards.
WARNING -Tire Inflation
Overinflation or underinflation can reduce tire
life, adversely affect vehicle handling, and lead
to sudden tire failure. This could result in loss
of vehicle control.

Compact Spare Tire Replacement
A compact spare tire has a shorter tread life than a
regular size tire. Replace it when you can see the tread
wear indicator bars on the tire. The replacement
compact spare tire should be the same size and design
tire as the one provided with your new Kia and should
be mounted on the same compact spare tire wheel. The
compact spare tire is not designed to be mounted on
a regular size wheel, and the compact spare tire wheel
is not designed for mounting a regular size tire.

Wheel Alignment and Tire Balance
In addition to proper tire inflation, correct wheel
alignment helps to minmize tire wear. Your vehicle’s
alignment sh
ould be checked every 12 months
or
24,000 km (15,000 miles).
Your tires were properly balanced at the factory, but
they may need to be rebalanced before they wear out.
If you notice a consistent vibration when driving, have
your Kia Dealer inspect your tires. A tire should
always be rebalanced if it has been removed from the
wheel.
✻ ✻
NOTICE
Improper wheel weights can damage your
vehicle’s aluminum wheels. Use only approved
wheel weights.
