Wheel Replacement
When replacing the metal wheels for any reason, make
sure the new wheels are equivalent to the original
factory units in diameter, rim width and offset.
✻ ✻
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
calibration.
(Continued)
(Continued)
 Driving on worn-out tires is very hazardous
and will reduce braking effectiveness,
steering accuracy, and traction.
 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.

designation mean.

P– Applicable vehicle type (tires marked with the
prefix “P’’ are intended for use on passenger cars;
however, not all tires have this marking).
175– Tire width in millimeters.
65– Aspect Ratio. The tire’s section height as a
percentage of tire width.
7-39
R– Tire construction code (radial).
14– Rim diameter in inches.
81– 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.
Wheel Size Designation
Wheels 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: 14 x 5.5J
14– Rim diameter in inches.
5.5– Rim width in inches.
J– Rim contour designation.

affect wheel and bearing life, braking and
stopping abilities, handling characteristics,
ground clearance, body-to-tire clearance, snow
chain clearance, speedometer calibration,
