Kia Seltos Tyre Reviews

Tyres are the only part of a Kia Seltos that touches the road, and they have more influence on braking, wet grip, noise and ride comfort than almost any other component you can change. This page collects owner reviews and buying advice for Kia Seltos tyres in Australia.

What to look for in Kia Seltos tyres

The small SUV is a city vehicle with extra ride height, and its tyres should be chosen on that basis: wet braking, tread life, noise and rolling resistance. All-terrain patterns are rarely the right answer here, since the vehicle usually lacks the ground clearance and drivetrain to use them.

Larger wheel sizes on these models can make the ride firm, and the tyre is the main variable you can change. Reviews that talk about ride comfort and road noise on coarse-chip surfaces are particularly useful, because that is what most Australian secondary roads are surfaced with.

Kia Seltos tyre sizes and fitment

Before you order, check the placard on your own vehicle rather than relying on the size currently fitted — previous owners change wheels and tyres more often than you would think. The placard gives the original size, the minimum load index and speed rating, and the recommended cold inflation pressures. If your Seltos has aftermarket wheels, the overall rolling diameter should stay within a few per cent of standard so the speedometer, ABS and stability control continue to read correctly.

Kia Seltos tyre reviews from Australian owners

Every review on this page is written by someone who has actually run the tyre on their own vehicle, which is why they cover things a specification sheet cannot: how the tyre wore over 40,000 km, whether it tramlined, how loud it got as it aged, how it behaved on wet country roads at night. Filter by tyre brand or size to narrow the list, and if you have run a set on your Kia Seltos, adding your own review helps the next owner in the same position.
