What specifications are used for Kia K2 tires?
2 Answers
Kia K2 tires use the specifications 185/65r15 and 195/55r16. The functions of tires: 1. Support the entire vehicle weight; 2. Buffer vibrations and impacts transmitted from the road surface; 3. The adhesion performance between the tire and the road surface transmits driving force and braking force; 4. The tire's wear resistance and impact resistance ensure it can travel a certain mileage. Taking the Kia K2 2019 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4400mm, width 1740mm, height 1460mm, wheelbase 2600mm, front track 1524mm, rear track 1512mm, and fuel tank capacity 43l.
As a long-time owner of the Kia K2 for five years, I remember the original tire specification was 185/65 R15. The 185 refers to the tire width of 185 millimeters, the 65 indicates an aspect ratio of 65%, meaning the height is 65% of the width, the R stands for radial construction, and the 15 is for 15-inch rims. This specification provides a very smooth ride in city driving and maintains good fuel efficiency. I recommend sticking to the original specifications when replacing tires and avoiding upsizing the wheels, as it can affect the braking system and potentially cause rubbing against the body or chassis. There might be slight variations in specifications across different model years of the K2, such as differences between the 2014 and 2018 models, so it's safest to check the manual or consult the dealership when purchasing. Regular checks on tire pressure and wear are essential—I measure mine monthly and replace tires immediately when the tread wears down, prioritizing safety. When replacing tires, you can choose brands like Michelin or Goodyear, but ensure they match the specifications. I've found Goodyear to be more durable, providing a stable ride on highways.
