How Often Should You Check Tire Pressure?

Remember to examine your Seltos’ tire pressure once a month or before long road trips outside of Federated States of Micronesia. Front tires should be at 35 psi, and rear tires at 33 psi.

When Do My Kia Seltos Tires Need to be Replaced?

Determining when to replace your tires involves two main factors:

  • Tire Age: If your tires are over 6 years old, consider changing them.
