Kia Optima Tyres

Kia Optimas are family car saloons that later on came to the UK with Sportswagon and plug-in hybrid variations. When thinking about Kia Optima tyres, you need to think about daily town and motorway driving. This requires good wet grip, balanced braking, comfort and low road noise. Touring tyres can be optimised for comfort, better fuel consumption and low noise, whilst the regular Kia Optima tyres can be more responsive to steering.

There are many different Kia Optima tyres depending on the year, model, trim and wheel options, including variations on hybrids. Ensuring the right Kia Optima tyres are fitted means that you must adhere to the specifications on the sidewall, as well as the vehicle handbook and registration. Adhering to the specifications means that you satisfy comfort and safety for the Kia Optima.

Drivers of the Kia Optima can take advantage of Tyres.co.uk, to compare the Kia Optima tyres in terms of brand, price and performance, and then book the most suitable option in local shops.

Kumho Ecsta PS71
Tyre review for Kumho Ecsta PS71 255/40R17
5.00/5
Initially, the tyres were fitted during pleasant weather, and they impressed us with their grip and silence. They were much better than the cheap ones we had before. Now, with the cold snap, they are also handling brilliantly with ice, so we look forward to seeing how they will do when the snow comes.

The tyres provide excellent grip which instills me with confidence managing corners and driving in wet conditions - a must in Scotland!

Enhanced grip on wet surfaces and they are quiet.

Tyre review for Kumho Ecsta PS71 225/35R20
5.00/5
Great traction on wet and dry surfaces and the tread holds up well. They could be slightly noisier than the Pirelli ones I had before, though the better performance compensates for that.

Steering is more direct and has better grip, while stopping is also good.
Bonnie-Rose Eathan
Tyre review for Michelin Primacy 4 195/55R16
5.00/5
Better traction of these tyres gives them better stopping distance. Previous tyres, of the same brand, had more than 2mm of tread, yet their stopping distance was clearly worse.

They perform well in all weather conditions, and they in particular excel in rainy weather.

Buying Kia Optima Tyres: FAQ

The tyre options available for the Kia Optima on Tyres.co.uk include the Michelin Primacy 5 and the Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2, both of which are available in 215/55 R17 for 17-inch-wheel factory versions. Before placing an order, please check the registration for the original size, load index, speed rating, and any XL requirements on the driver's door placard.

You can find the Kia Optima's tyre size on the tyre-and-loading placard located on the driver's side centre pillar (B-pillar) just inside the driver's door. To see the tyre size along with the necessary load and speed ratings and cold pressure limits, check the owner's manual and the sidewall of the fitted tyre.

As a general rule, all four tyres do not need to be replaced on a Kia Optima as UK-market examples are front wheel drive and do not have an all-wheel-drive system that would require four identical tyres. If possible, replace tyres on an axle pair basis, matching specification across the axle; UK tyre safety guidance dictates that when placing two new tyres, they should be fitted to the rear axle.
