WARNING - Replacing
tires
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.
If  you nevertheless  decide to
equip  your  vehicle   with  any
tire/wheel    combination    not
recommended  by  Kia  for  off
road  driving,  you should  not
use  these   tires  for  highway
driving.
Driving  on  worn-out   tires  is
will
very
hazardous
and
reduce  braking effectiveness,
steering  accuracy,   and  trac-
tion.
WARNING
Your vehicle  is equipped  with
tires  designed  to provide  for
safe  ride  and handling  capa-
bility.  Do not  use  a  size  and
type of  tire  and wheel  that is
different  from the  one that  is
originally   installed   on   your
vehicle. It can affect the safety
and performance of your vehi-
cle, which  could  lead to  han-
dling  failure   or  rollover  and
serious injury. When replacing
the tires,  be sure  to equip  all
four  tires   with  the   tire   and
wheel of  the same  size, type,
tread, brand and load-carrying
capacity.
The use  of any other  tire size
or  type  may  seriously  affect
ride,  handling,  ground  clear-
ance, stopping distance, body
to  tire   clearance,   snow  tire
clearance,  and   speedometer
reliability.
It  is  best  to  replace  all  four
tires at the same time. If that is
not   possible,  or   necessary,
then  replace the  two  front or
two   rear    tires    as   a   pair.
Replacing  just   one  tire   can
seriously affect your  vehicle’s
handling.
A wheel  that  is not  the correct
size may adversely  affect wheel
and  bearing   life,  braking   and
handling
characteristics,   ground   clear-
ance,   body-to-tire    clearance,
stopping
abilities,
snow
chain
clearance,
speedometer  calibration,  head-
light aim and bumper height.
