Kia Soul: 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 12 months. If irregular wear develops, more frequent tire rotation
may be needed.
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 “Tire and wheels” on page 9-09.

Disc brake pads should be inspected for wear whenever tires are rotated.
NOTICE
Rotate radial tires that have an directional tread pattern only from front
to rear and not from right to left.

may cause unusual handling characteristics that could result in death, severe
injury, or property damage.
