Low aspect ratio tire
(if equipped)
Low aspect ratio tires, whose aspect
ratio is lower than 50, are provided
for sporty looks.
Because the low aspect ratio tires
are optimized for handling and brak-
ing, they may be more uncomfortable
to ride in and more noisy when com-
pared with normal tires. Tire damage can be difficult to
identify; therefore, in the event that
the tire is impacted, it is recom-
mended to have the tire checked or
replaced to prevent potential air
leakage.
If the tire is damaged by driving on a rough road, off road, pothole,
manhole, or curb stone, the dam-
age will not be covered by the war-
ranty.
You can find out tire information on the tire sidewall.
CAUTION
Because the sidewall of a lowaspect ratio tire is shorter thannormal, the wheel and tire of alow aspect ratio tire is more eas-ily damaged. Therefore, followthe instructions below.
- When driving on a rough road or off road, drive cautiouslybecause the tires and wheelsmay become damaged. Andafter driving, inspect the tiresand wheels.
- When passing over a pothole, speed bump, manhole, or curbstone, drive slowly so that thetires and wheels are not dam-aged.
- If the tire is impacted, we rec- ommend that you inspect thetires condition or contact anauthorized K900 Kia dealer.
- To prevent damage to the tire, inspect the tire condition andpressure every 1,900 miles(3,000 km).

✽ ✽NOTICE
• It is permissible to add 3 psi (21 kPa) to the standard tire pressure specification if colder temperatures are expect-
ed soon.
Tires typically lose 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (-11°C) temperature drop. If extreme temperature variations are
expected, re-check your tire pressure as necessary to keep them properly inflated.
• We recommend that when replacing tires, use the same originally supplied with the vehicles. If not, that aff\
ects driving performance.
• When driving in high altitude grades, it is natural for the atmospheric pressure to decrease. Therefore, please check the tire pressure and add more air when necessary.
Additionally required tire air pressure per km above sea level: 1.5 psi (10.5 kPa)/km
