What is the tire size of the Kia Sportage?

[DiAaron]

The Kia Sportage has two tire size models: 235/60R16 and 215/65R16. The numbers 235 and 215 represent the tire's section width in millimeters (235mm and 215mm, respectively). The numbers 60 and 65 represent the aspect ratio. The letter R stands for radial tire, and 16 indicates the rim diameter in inches. The Kia Sportage is equipped with 17-inch black alloy wheels, and its standard tires are Kumho tires. If you wish to replace the tires yourself, follow these steps: Retrieve the spare tire and jack. Place the jack under the vehicle frame near the tire to be replaced, ensuring it contacts the metal part of the frame. Raise the jack until it supports the car. The jack should be positioned under the vehicle, and ensure it is perpendicular to the ground. Remove the hubcap and loosen the nuts counterclockwise. Do not fully remove the nuts—just enough to reduce resistance. Keeping the tire on the ground while loosening the nuts ensures the nuts turn rather than the tire. Continue turning the nuts counterclockwise until they are loose. Repeat this step for all lug nuts, then remove them completely. Place the new tire onto the wheel hub, carefully aligning the tire rim with the wheel bolts. Install the lug nuts and hand-tighten them until all nuts are snug. The tire replacement is now complete. In addition to the model number, tires also display the following common data: Tire cord material: Indicated by Chinese pinyin, such as M for cotton cord, R for rayon cord, N for nylon cord, G for steel cord, and ZG for steel radial cord tires. Speed rating: Indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry a specified load under defined conditions. Letters A to Z represent certified speed ratings from 4.8 km/h to 300 km/h. Common speed ratings include: Q: 160 km/h; H: 210 km/h; V: 240 km/h; W: 270 km/h; Y: 300 km/h. Rim specification: Indicates the rim size compatible with the tire for practical use, such as "Standard rim 5.00F."
