2006 KIA Magnetis tires

7-27
TIRE ROTATIONTo equalize tread wear, it is
recommended that the tires be rotated
every 12,000km (7,500 miles) or sooner
if irregular wear develops.
During tire rotation, check the tires for
correct balance.
Check for uneven wear and damage.
Abnormal wear is usually caused by
incorrect tire pressure, improper wheel
alignment, an out-of-balance condition,
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. Also, replace
the tire if you can see fabric or cord.
After rotation, be sure to bring the front
and rear tire pressures to specification
and check lug nut tightness.
Disc brake pads should be inspected for
wear whenever tires are rotated.
TIRE REPLACEMENTIf the tire is worn evenly, a tread wear
indicator will appear as a solid band,
12.7mm wide (1/2 inch) across the
tread. This shows there is less than
1.6mm (1/16 inch) of tread remaining on
the tire. Replace the tire when this
happens.
Do not wait for this band to appear
across the entire tread before replacing
the tire.

front to rear only and not from
right to left.

7-28COMPACT SPARE TIRE
REPLACEMENTA 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 BALANCEIn addition to proper tire inflation,
correct wheel alignment helps to
minmize tire wear. Your vehicle’s
alignment should 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.

TIRE SIZE DESIGNATIONA tire’s sidewall is marked with a tire
size designation. You will need this
information when selecting replacement
tires for your car. The following explains
what the letters and numbers in the tire
size designation mean.
Example tire size designation :
P205/60R15 82T
P- Applicable vehicle type (tires marked
with the prefix “P” are intended for use
on passenger cars; however, not all tires
have this marking).
205- Tire width in millimeters.
60- Aspect Ratio. The tire’s section
height as a percentage of tire width.
R- Tire construction code (radial).
15- Rim diameter in inches.
82- Load Index: A numerical code
associated with the maximum load the
tire can carry.
T- Speed Rating symbol. See the speed
rating chart in this section for additional
information.
✻
NOTICE
• When replacing tires, never mix
radial, bias-belted, and bias-type
tires. All four tires should be of
the same size, design and
construction. Use only the tire
sizes listed on the Tire Label
attached to the passenger’s door.
Make sure that all tires and
wheels are the same size and
have the same load-carrying
capacity. Use only tire and wheel
combinations recommended on
the Tire Label or by an
Authorized Kia Dealer. Failure
to follow these precautions can
adversely affect the safety and
handling of your vehicle.
• The use of any other tire size or
type may seriously affect ride,
handling, ground clearance, tire
clearance, and speedometer
alibration.
• Driving on worn-out tires is very
hazardous and will reduce
braking effectiveness, steering
accuracy, and raction.
• It is best to replace all four tires
on your vehicle at the same time.
If that is not possible, then
replace the two front or two rear
tires as a pair.
Replacing just one tire can
seriously affect vehicle handling.

7-30WHEEL SIZE DESIGNATIONWheels are also marked with important
information that you need if you ever
need to replace one. The following
explains what the letters and numbers in
the wheel size designation mean.
Example wheel size designation: 15 X 6J
15 - Rim diameter in inches.
6 - Rim width in inches.
J - Rim contour designation.TIRE SPEED RATINGSThe following chart below shows many
of the different speed ratings currently
used for passenger car tires. The speed
rating symbol is part of the tire size
designation on the sidewall of the tire.
This symbol corresponds to that tire’s
designed maximum safe operating speed.
UNIFORM TIRE QUALITY
GRADINGThe following information relates to the
tire grading system developed by the
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
(CMVSS) for grading tires by tread wear,
traction and temperature performance.These temperature grades are molded on
the sidewalls of passenger vehicle tires.
Tires available as standard or optional
equipment on Kia vehicles may vary
with respect to grade.

TREAD WEARThe tread wear grade is a comparative
rating based on the wear rate of the tire
when tested under controlled conditions
on a specified government test course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would
wear one-and-a-half times as well on the
government course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires
depends upon the actual conditions of
their use. Variations in driving habits,
service practices and differences in road
characteristics and climate may
significantly affect performance.TRACTION - A, B AND CThe traction grades, from highest to
lowest, are A, B and C, and they
represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet
pavement as measured under controlled
conditions on specified government test
surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire
marked C may have poor traction
performance.
TEMPERATURE-A, B AND CThe temperature grades are A (the
highest), B and C, representing the tire’s
resistance to generate heat and to
dissipate heat when tested under
controlled conditions on a specified
indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained
high temperatures can cause the material
of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire
life, and excessive temperature can lead
to sudden tire failure. Grade C
corresponds to a level of performance
that all passenger vehicle tires must meet
under the Canadian Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard No. 109: Grades A and
B represent higher levels of performance
on the laboratory test wheel than the
maximum required by law.
WARNING - Tire
Temperature
The temperature grade for a tire
is established for a tire 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 tire
failure. This can cause loss of
vehicle control and death or
personal injury.

7-42HEADLIGHT AIMING
ADJUSTMENTBefore performing aiming adjustment,
make sure of the following.
1. Keep all tires inflated to the correct
pressure.
2. Place the vehicle on level ground and
press the front bumper & rear
bumper down several times.
3. See that the vehicle is unloaded
(except for full levels of coolant,
engine oil and fuel, and spare tire, jack,
and tools). Have the driver sit in the
driver’s seat or use equivalent weight.4. Clean the headlight lenses and turn
on the headlight (Low beam).
5. Open the hood.
6. Draw a vertical line (through the
center of each headlight) and the
horizontal line (through the center of
each headlight) on the aiming screen.
1) Horizontal line dimension from
ground: 628 mm (24.72 in)
2) Distance between each vertical
line : 1,306 mm (49.17 in)
And then, draw a parallel line at 30
mm (1.18 in) place under the
horizontal line.
7. Adjust each cut-off line of the low
beam to the parallel line with a
Phillips screwdriver.
ADJUSTMENT AFTER
HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY
REPLACEMENTIf the vehicle has had front body repair
and the headlight assembly has been
replaced, the headlight aiming should be
checked using the aiming screen as
shown in the illustration. Turn on the
headlight switch. (Low Beam Position)
1. Adjust headlights so that main axis of
light is parallel to center line of the
body and is aligned with point “P”
shown in the illustration.
