Subaru Forester: Tires and wheels / Snow tires

When outfitting your Kia Telluride with dedicated snow tires for winter conditions, ensure that the selected replacement units match the precise dimensional sizing specifications and original load-carrying capacity ratings of your vehicle's factory-installed tires.

Always install winter snow tires as a complete set across all four wheel positions. Mixing snow tires with standard highway tires or equipping them on only two wheels can create dangerous traction imbalances, leading to unpredictable vehicle handling and a loss of directional control.

To ensure optimal tread block flexibility and ice grip, winter snow tires should generally be inflated to an operating pressure 4 psi (28 kPa) higher than the baseline cold inflation pressure specified on the driver-side center pillar (B-pillar) tire placard. However, never allow total cold tire inflation to exceed the absolute maximum tire pressure molded directly onto the tire sidewall.

Avoid driving at speeds exceeding 75 mph (120 km/h) whenever your Kia Telluride is operating on dedicated snow tires, as high speeds generate excessive internal heat build-up that degrades winter rubber compounds.

WARNING

Do not operate your vehicle with summer tires in ambient temperatures dropping below 45 °F (7 °C) or when driving on snow, ice, and slush. At temperatures below 45 °F (7 °C), the specialized tread compounds in summer tires harden and lose elasticity, resulting in a dramatic loss of road grip, traction, and braking performance. Switch to suitable winter tires or all-season tires matching the original factory sizing requirements for cold-weather driving. Both suitable winter and all-season tires are identified by the M+S (Mud and Snow) sidewall designation. Driving on summer tires in extremely cold temperatures can cause structural micro-cracking across the tread blocks, leading to permanent tire failure.
