Kia Picanto: Tyres and Wheels / Wheel Replacement. Tyre Traction

Wheel Replacement

If you replace a metal wheel, choose one equivalent to the original factory wheel in diameter, rim width and offset.

Warning

A wheel of the wrong size can affect wheel and bearing life, braking and stopping performance, handling, ground clearance, clearance between the body and tyre, snow-chain clearance, speedometer and odometer calibration, headlight aim and bumper height.

Tyre Traction

Tyres may lose traction when they are worn, incorrectly inflated or driven on slippery surfaces. Replace them when the tread-wear indicators appear. Reduce speed in rain, snow or icy conditions to lower the risk of losing control of the Kia Picanto.
