Kia tyre tips
- The Pegas runs narrow 14 and 15 inch tyres, so keeping it at the placard pressure matters more for braking than tyre brand.
- Stinger GT models use staggered tyres, wider at the rear, so front and rear tyres cannot be rotated between axles.
- Telluride and Sorento owners carrying seven people should run the loaded-vehicle pressure on the door placard on long E11 trips.
Common factory tyres on Kia: Hankook, Kumho, Nexen, Continental, Michelin.

When to replace the tyres
Expect 40,000–60,000 km from a set on a front-wheel-drive sedan with regular rotation, and replace at around five years regardless of tread. Front tyres wear faster, so rotating every 8,000–10,000 km makes a real difference.
Most sedans need a load index of 88–98 and a speed rating of H (210 km/h) or V (240 km/h). Larger sedans on 18 inch wheels often specify 94W or 95V XL. Always match or exceed the figures on the door placard.
