Subaru Forester: Tires and wheels / Low aspect ratio tires: (if equipped)

Because the reinforced sidewall of a low aspect ratio tire is substantially shorter than that of a standard tire, the wheel rim and tire casing are significantly more vulnerable to impact damage. Adhere to these essential operating recommendations:

• Exercise extra caution when driving your Kia Telluride on unpaved terrain, gravel tracks, or severely degraded road surfaces to prevent tire carcass bruising and rim wheel damage. Always perform a quick visual inspection of the wheels and tires after traveling over rough roads.

• Reduce vehicle speed significantly when navigating over deep potholes, speed bumps, raised manhole covers, or sharp concrete curbs to prevent pinch flats and rim bending.

• If a wheel sustains a hard road impact, immediately inspect the tire for sidewall bulges or contact an authorized Kia dealer for a comprehensive safety evaluation.

• To safeguard against hidden structural failures, check cold inflation pressures and inspect total tire condition every 1,900 miles (3,000 km).

• Internal cord damage on low-profile tires is not always visually obvious from the exterior sidewall. If you suspect an impact occurred, have the tire dismounted and checked by a technician, as unseen internal casing damage can lead to sudden air pressure loss.

• Damage resulting from driving over potholes, severe curbs, raised manhole covers, or rough off-road terrain is classified as road hazard impact damage and is not covered under your vehicle manufacturer warranty.

• You can locate complete tire specification metrics, including aspect ratio and sizing codes, molded directly on the outer tire sidewall.
