Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
Are OEM tyres still fitted to new Kia Stonic cars?
New UK Kia Stonic cars leave the factory with original-equipment (OEM) tyres specified by Kia. When replacing, you can stay on the same OEM brand or move to an alternative provided the size, load index and speed rating match.
Where should I check the original tyre size for my Kia Stonic?
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.
What should Kia Stonic drivers know about UK potholes?
UK road conditions are tough on tyres. Check sidewall bulges, cuts and tread depth regularly — especially on the inside edge, which often wears unevenly. A 20p coin gives a quick legal-tread check.
Are run-flat tyres needed on the 2017-present Kia Stonic?
Most 2017-present Kia Stonic cars were supplied with conventional tyres and a spare or repair kit. Only fit run-flats if your specific car was originally specified with them and has tyre pressure monitoring.
Are all-season tyres suitable for the Kia Stonic?
All-season tyres carrying the 3PMSF snowflake symbol are a sensible choice for UK Kia Stonic drivers who don't want to swap between summer and winter sets. Confirm the size and load rating match your OEM spec.
