Find Tyres for Kia Picanto

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.

• Where can I find the tyre size for a Kia Picanto?

  On a Kia Picanto, the original tyre size is shown in three places: the existing tyre sidewall, the placard on the driver's door frame, and the vehicle handbook. The door placard is the manufacturer-specified original equipment.

• How do I find the right tyres for a Kia Picanto?

  Start with the size printed on your existing tyre sidewall — for example 205/55 R16 91V — and use it as your baseline for the Kia Picanto. Match width, profile, rim size, load index and speed rating before considering brand or pattern.

• Are all-season tyres a good choice on a Kia Picanto?

  For UK drivers, all-season tyres with the 3PMSF symbol can be a sensible compromise on the Kia Picanto — particularly if you do mixed mileage and don't want to swap between summer and winter sets twice a year.

• Why does the Kia Picanto have different tyre sizes by year?

  The Kia Picanto has had 3 UK-market generations. Each generation uses a different platform and wheel options, so tyre sizes are not interchangeable across the model's history. Pick the year-correct generation page for accurate fitment data.

• What's the legal tread depth for a Kia Picanto in the UK?

  The UK legal minimum tread depth is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre. Many tyre safety bodies recommend replacing at 3mm for better wet weather safety on the Kia Picanto.
