All season tires

Kia specifies all season tires on

some models to provide good perfor-

mance for use all year round, includ-

ing snowy and icy road conditions.

All season tires are identified by ALL

SEASON and/or M+S (Mud and

Snow) on the tire sidewall. Snow tires

have better snow traction than all

season tires and may be more

appropriate in some areas.

Summer tires

Kia specifies summer tires on some

models to provide superior perfor-

mance on dry roads. Summer tire

performance is substantrally reduced

in snow and ice. Summer tires do not

have the tire traction rating M+S

(Mud and Snow) on the tire side wall.

if you plan to operate your vehicle in

snowy or icy conditions. Kia recom-

mends the use of snow tires or all

season tires on all four wheels.

Snow tires

If you equip your car with snow tires,

they should be the same size and

have the same load capacity as the

original tires. Snow tires should be

installed on all four wheels; other-

wise, poor handling may result.

Snow tires should carry 28 kPa (4

psi) more air pressure than the pres-

sure recommended for the standard

tires on the tire label on the driver's

side of the center pillar, or up to the

maximum pressure shown on the tire

sidewall whichever is less.

Do not drive faster than 120 km/h (75

mph) when your car is equipped with

snow tires.
