Find Tyres for 2015-2020 Kia Sorento (UM)
Common factory fitments and replacement guidance for the 2015-2020 Kia Sorento.
About this generation
This generation of the Sorento runs on 19-inch or larger wheels in some trims, which means short-sidewall tyres that handle precisely but are less forgiving on rough UK roads.
The Kia Sorento is an SUV/crossover, so the original tyres carry a higher load index for the extra weight and ride height. Replacement tyres should match or exceed the original load rating.
Chassis code: UM. Use the chassis code to confirm you have the right generation when ordering tyres.
Common factory tyre sizes
UK-market factory fitments for the 2015-2020 Kia Sorento typically include:
Wet grip is the most relevant EU label rating for UK driving. On the Sorento, prioritise wet grip A or B for shorter braking in rain.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
Where should I check the original tyre size for my Kia Sorento?
Look in three places: (1) the sidewall of the existing tyre, (2) the placard inside the driver's door frame, and (3) the vehicle handbook. The driver's door placard is the official OEM specification, and the sidewall confirms what's fitted now.
Are all-season tyres suitable for the Kia Sorento?
All-season tyres carrying the 3PMSF snowflake symbol are a sensible choice for UK Kia Sorento drivers who don't want to swap between summer and winter sets. Confirm the size and load rating match your OEM spec.
Are budget tyres OK on a Kia Sorento?
On lower-power, lighter cars like the Kia Sorento, mid-range tyres often deliver the best value — premium isn't always justified. Avoid the cheapest unbranded options; check the EU tyre label before fitting.
What's different about the 2015-2020 Sorento compared with other generations?
This is the 2015-2020 generation of the Kia Sorento. Earlier and later generations use different platforms, wheel sizes and tyre fitments, so always match your specific year to the correct generation page.
What wet grip should I look for on the Kia Sorento?
For UK driving conditions, prioritise an EU tyre label wet-grip rating of A or B. Wet grip directly affects braking distance — the gap between A and E ratings can be more than a car length at 50 mph.
