Kia Picanto: Tires and wheels / Tire rotation
To equalize tread wear, it is recommended
that the tires be rotated every
10,000 km (6,500 miles) or sooner if irregular
wear develops.
During rotation, check the tires for correct
balance.
When rotating tires, check for uneven
wear and damage. Abnormal wear is
usually caused by incorrect tire pressure,
improper wheel alignment, outof-
balance wheels, severe braking or
severe cornering. Look for bumps or
bulges in the tread or side of tire. Replace
the tire if you find either of these
conditions. Replace the tire if fabric or
cord is visible. After rotation, be sure to
bring the front and rear tire pressures
to specification and check lug nut tightness.
Refer to “Tires and Wheels” on page
9-06.

Disc brake pads should be inspected for
wear whenever tires are rotated.
NOTICE
Rotate radial tires that have an
asymmetric tread pattern only from
front to rear and not from right to
left.
WARNING
- Do not use the compact spare tire
(if equipped) for tire rotation.
- Do not mix bias ply and radial ply
tires under any circumstances.
This may cause unusual handling
characteristics that could result in
death, severe injury, or property
damage.
Check your tires once a month or more.
Also, check the tire pressure of the
spare tire.
