Kia Telluride: Tires and wheels / Low aspect ratio tires: (if equipped)
Low aspect ratio tires (defined as tires with a profile aspect ratio lower than 50) are featured on select trim levels to deliver a low-profile stance and sporty appearance for your Kia Telluride.
Because low aspect ratio tires feature shorter, stiffer sidewalls optimized primarily for crisp steering response, cornering grip, and firm braking, overall ride comfort over rough pavement may feel firmer, and road noise levels inside the cabin may be higher than on standard tire configurations.
NOTE
Because the reinforced sidewall of a low aspect ratio tire is substantially shorter than that of a standard tire, the wheel rim and tire casing are significantly more vulnerable to impact damage. Adhere to these essential operating recommendations:
-
Exercise extra caution when driving your Kia Telluride on unpaved terrain, gravel tracks, or severely degraded road surfaces to prevent tire carcass bruising and rim wheel damage. Always perform a quick visual inspection of the wheels and tires after traveling over rough roads.
-
Reduce vehicle speed significantly when navigating over deep potholes, speed bumps, raised manhole covers, or sharp concrete curbs to prevent pinch flats and rim bending.
-
If a wheel sustains a hard road impact, immediately inspect the tire for sidewall bulges or contact an authorized Kia dealer for a comprehensive safety evaluation.
-
To safeguard against hidden structural failures, check cold inflation pressures and inspect total tire condition every 1,900 miles (3,000 km).
-
Internal cord damage on low-profile tires is not always visually obvious from the exterior sidewall. If you suspect an impact occurred, have the tire dismounted and checked by a technician, as unseen internal casing damage can lead to sudden air pressure loss.
-
Damage resulting from driving over potholes, severe curbs, raised manhole covers, or rough off-road terrain is classified as road hazard impact damage and is not covered under your vehicle manufacturer warranty.
-
You can locate complete tire specification metrics, including aspect ratio and sizing codes, molded directly on the outer tire sidewall.
