Kia Forte: Tires and wheels / Low aspect ratio tire
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 braking,
they may be more uncomfortable
to ride in and more noisy when compared
with normal tires.
CAUTION
Because the sidewall of a low
aspect ratio tire is shorter than
normal, the wheel and tire of a
low aspect ratio tire is more easily
damaged. Therefore, follow
the instructions below.
- When driving on a rough road
or off road, drive cautiously
because the tires and wheels
may become damaged. And
after driving, inspect the tires
and wheels.
- When passing over a pothole,
speed bump, manhole, or curb
stone, drive slowly so that the
tires and wheels are not damaged.
- If the tire is impacted, we recommend
that you inspect the
tire condition or contact an
authorized Kia dealer.
- To prevent damage to the tire,
inspect the tire condition and
pressure every 3,000 km
- Tire damage can be difficult to
identify; therefore, in the event that
the tire is impacted, it is recommended
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 damage
will not be covered by the warranty.
- You can find out tire information on
the tire sidewall.
