Whether you are taking your new Kia Sportage across the street or across the country, it’s important that your tires are properly inflated to keep you safe and to keep your crossover running efficiently. If you aren’t sure about the exact tire inflation for your 2017 Kia Sportage, take a look at the recommendations below!
2017 Kia Sportage Recommended Tire Pressure
According to the owner’s manual, all four of your new Sportage’s tires should be around 35 psi when cold. The maximum rating for the Sportage is 51 psi while cold, so it’s important not to overfill or you could damage your tires. The Sportage carries a bit more weight in the front of the vehicle, so some owners like to keep their front tires 2 psi higher than their rear tires, as this can make for a smoother ride.
2017 Kia Sportage Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Found standard on all 2017 Kia Sportage trim lines, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System uses sensors to monitor your Sportage’s inflation. Depending on if it’s too high or too low, the system will alert you through the dashboard that the psi should be adjusted. If your Sportage is signaling that your inflation levels are off, be sure to bring your Sportage to the nearest gas station to use their air pump and get your tires back on track. And don’t forget to use a tire pressure gauge!
