Tires and wheels

Selecting the correct factory-approved tire and wheel combinations for your Kia Sorento is critical to maintaining optimal vehicle handling, braking performance, and passenger safety. Below is the comprehensive technical breakdown of standard and optional full-size wheel assemblies, alongside compact spare tire specifications and recommended inflation guidelines.

NOTE

When replacing worn or damaged tires on your Kia Sorento, always fit identical replacement tires matching the original equipment dimensions, speed ratings, and load indices. Installing mismatched tire sizes or incorrect load capacities severely alters driving performance, compromises stability control algorithms, and may increase braking distance.
Driving through high-altitude regions results in reduced atmospheric pressure, which proportionally drops tire cold inflation readings. Always monitor tire pressure regularly and inflate tires accordingly to compensate for ambient altitude changes.

Additionally required tire air pressure per mile (km) above sea level: 3.3 psi/mile (1.5 psi/km).
