Tire Wear: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Kia Sportage and 2012 Kia Sportage. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Measure the tread depth of the tires.
Tread depth (limit): 1.6 mm (0.063 in.)
If the remaining tread (A) depth is less than the limit, replace the tire.
