Tyres are the only point of contact with the road surface, therefore they should be checked regularly. Worn or incorrectly inflated tyres can be dangerous and cause serious accidents.
Your tyres can have a significant effect on driving safety due to their inflation pressure, tread depth or wheel alignment. Checking pressure and tread wear (at least once a month) is relatively simple. Knowing when, how and whether you should rotate tyres demands more expertise. So does identifying and resolving incorrect wheel alignment. If you’re not sure what you’re looking for, your local Kia dealer can help you.
✔ Low tread depths and incorrectly inflated tyres reduce the effectiveness of braking, steering and acceleration
✔ A tyres’s performance – particularly in wet conditions deteriorates dramatically once it gets below 2mm
✔ Low tyre pressures can reduce your vehicles fuel economy, braking and handling performance as well as leading to premature wear
If your tyres are unevenly worn across the surface, this could be a sign of over/under inflation. However, it is likely to be the result of incorrect wheel alignment often caused by pot holes and kerb impact. Regular wheel alignment will ensure your tyres do not wear prematurely.
The current British legal limit for car tyre tread depth is 1.6mm (across 75% of the tyre).

The cost of new car tyres will vary depending on the type of Kia model you have. There are several factors to consider, including the size, brand and type of tyre you need. You can find out the price of tyres and professional fitting by contacting us below.
The car tyres you need will depend on your Kia model, driving style, and typical road conditions. For example, a Kia EV9 is an SUV that requires larger 19" to 21" tyres. Meanwhile, mid-sized 17" to 19" tyres are required for the Kia Sportage. If you're changing to winter tyres, it's recommended that you have them fitted by a professional at an authorised Kia dealer.
Kia provides car tyres from several brands, with each model requiring a specific type of tyre. If you're unsure which brand or tyre you need, your local Kia Dealer can help you.
