2006 Kia Sportage Owners Manual

Maintenance
Disc brake pads should be inspected
for wear whenever tires are rotated.
Compact spare tire replace-
ment (if equipped)
Tread wear indicator
A compact  spare  tire has  a shorter
tread  life  than   a  regular  size  tire.
Replace  it  when  you  can  see  the
tread wear indicator bars  on the tire.
The replacement compact  spare tire
should be the same  size and design
tire  as  the  one  provided  with  your
new Kia  and should be  mounted on
the same  compact spare tire  wheel.
The   compact    spare   tire    is   not
designed to be mounted on a regular
size  wheel, and  the compact  spare
tire wheel is not designed for  mount-
ing a regular size tire.

Rotate  radial  tires   that  have  an
asymmetric   tread    pattern   only
from  front  to  rear  and  not  from
right to left.
CAUTION
1KMA5026
Do not  mix bias-ply  and radial-
ply  under   any  circumstances.
This may cause dangerous han-
dling characteristics.
Tire replacement
If the tire is worn evenly, a tread wear
indicator will appear  as a solid band
across the tread. This shows there is
less than 1.6 mm (1/16 inch) of tread
left on the tire. Replace the tire when
this happens.
Do  not wait  for the  band  to appear
across the entire tread before replac-
ing the tire.
