Kia Optima DL3: Specifications & Consumer information /
CAUTION
When replacing tires, use the same size originally supplied with the vehicle.
Using tires of a different size can damage the related parts or make them work irregularly.
✽ NOTICE
- It is permissible to add 21 kPa (3 psi) to the standard tire pressure
specification if colder temperatures are expected soon. Tires typically loose
7 kPa (1 psi) for every -11°C (12°F) temperature drop. If extreme temperature
variations are expected, re-check your tire pressure as necessary to keep them
properly inflated.
- We recommend that when replacing tires, use the same originally supplied
with the vehicles. If not, that affects driving performance.
- When driving in high altitude grades, it is natural for the atmospheric
pressure to decrease. Therefore, please check the tire pressure and add more
air when necessary. Additionally required tire air pressure per km above sea
level: 10.5 kPa (1.5 psi)/km
