Finding Tyre pressure for a KIA Sportage

If you are serious about maintaining your car tyres and keeping them at their optimal performance, then ensuring that they are at the correct tyre pressure is one of the most important tasks you can carry out.

A tyre’s pressure will affect things like handling, braking and the durability of a tyre. If tyres are not maintained at the correct and recommended pressure you will begin to suffer from poor performance. 

The KIA Sportage is a very popular car. If you own one and you have ended up on this page you are likely trying to find out where you can find the recommended tyres pressure for a KIA Sportage. 

Thankfully, there are a number of places where you can find this information.

Finding Tyre Pressure for KIA Sportage

Although not a specific answer, the KIA website has some general advice for car owners looking for the tyre pressure recommendations.

They write “Recommended cold tyre pressure is in vehicle manual and on tyre label. It’s usually 30 psi for small, 36 psi for medium, and 42 psi for large car.”

So, the general advice aside, where can you find the specific tyre pressure for your Kia Sportage?

One of the two best places to check are actually on or in your car:

How to check KIA Sportage Tyre Pressure

If your tyres do not have the correct pressure, be it too little too much, your tyres will not deliver a good performance. They will also begin to wear unevenly, causing damage and issues further down the road.

Here is how you can check your tyre pressure:

  1. Use a good quality pressure gauge to get the best reading. Always check your tyres when they are cold.
  2. Remove the dust cap from the valve
  3. Press the tyre gauge onto the valve and screw it down to get a good connection
  4. Take a pressure reading and check if this matches the recommended level
  5. If the pressure is too low, use an air compressor to add air to the correct level
  6. If the pressure is too high, release air from the tyre in small bursts until the pressure hits the correct level.
  7. Replace the valve caps onto the valve. This will keep the valve free from dirt and debris.
