Kia Telluride: Tires and wheels / Tire traction
Operating your Kia Telluride on worn tread, underinflated or overinflated tires, or hazardous road surfaces like wet asphalt, slush, and black ice significantly diminishes overall tire traction, extending braking distances and compromising vehicle stability.
Immediately replace your tires as soon as the wear bars become flush with the tread surface. Whenever encountering rain, snow, or icy pavement, reduce your driving speed to maintain optimal control and lower the risk of dangerous vehicle skids or hydroplaning.
Tire rotation

Tire replacement
When a tire wears down evenly across its contact patch, a built-in tread wear indicator becomes visible as a continuous solid rubber band running perpendicular across the tread grooves...

Kia Telluride (LQ2, 2027-2026) Owner's Manual: Important - use of compact spare tire
Your Kia Telluride comes equipped from the factory with a compact spare tire, specifically engineered to take up significantly less cargo space than a standard road wheel.
