Kia EV2: Tyres and wheels / Low aspect ratio tyres: (if equipped)

Low aspect ratio tyres—defined as tyres featuring an aspect ratio lower than 50—are provided on select models of the Kia EV2 to deliver a sporty, aggressive stance and enhanced visual appeal.

Because low aspect ratio tyres are heavily optimized for responsive handling, cornering agility, and braking performance, ride comfort may feel firmer, and they can generate more road noise during travel compared to standard profile tyres.

Low aspect ratio tyre guidelines

Because the sidewall profile on a low aspect ratio tyre is significantly shorter than normal, both the alloy wheel and the tyre itself are more vulnerable to impact damage. Follow these important recommendations to protect your Kia EV2:

• When driving on rough surfaces or uneven terrain, navigate with extreme caution to avoid impact damage to your low-profile tyres and wheels. Inspect your wheels and tyres thoroughly after any rough driving.

• When rolling over sharp potholes, speed bumps, protruding manhole covers, or concrete kerbstones, drive at a very slow pace to prevent severe wheel and tyre structural damage.

• If a tyre sustains a sharp impact, carefully inspect its condition or have your Kia EV2 inspected by a professional service workshop. Kia strongly recommends visiting an authorized Kia dealer or certified service partner for a comprehensive evaluation.

• To prevent unexpected tyre degradation, inspect your tyre condition and check inflation pressures every 3,000 km (1,900 miles).

• Recognizing structural tyre damage visually is not always easy. If you suspect any impact trauma occurred even if no damage is visible, have the tyre checked or replaced immediately, as hidden internal injuries can lead to slow air leaks or sudden failure.

• Tyres and wheels damaged as a result of rough road driving, off-road use, or impacts with potholes, manholes, or kerbs are not covered under your vehicle warranty.

• You can easily locate all detailed tyre specification parameters directly embossed on the tyre sidewall.
