NOTE

  • When replacing the tires on your Kia Telluride, always ensure you use the exact same type, size, and specification as those originally installed at the factory. Using mismatched or incorrect tires can significantly compromise the vehicle's driving dynamics, handling precision, and overall safety performance.

  • If you are traveling through high-altitude regions, please be aware that decreased atmospheric pressure can affect tire performance. It is important to frequently check your tire pressure and add air when necessary to maintain optimal inflation levels.

    For high-altitude driving, the recommended adjustment is an additional 3.3 psi for every mile of elevation above sea level (approx. 1.5 psi per km).
