Tire pressure plays an important role in the performance of your Kia Carnival. As such, it is vital to maintain the pressure outlined in the vehicle’s user manual. Underinflated tires can cause adverse effects such as premature tire wear, decreased fuel efficiency and even negative effects on steering. On the other hand, overinflation can result in a harsh ride and lessened traction in wet weather or on snowy roads due to an inability for the tires to provide grip on slippery surfaces. Tire pressure should be regularly monitored to ensure optimum performance from your Kia Carnival.
Kia Carnival has a recommended tire pressure range of 37P/2.55B/255K to 38P/2.62B/262K, depending on the tire size and year of purchase. The minivan is available in 4 different trim levels and has 2 stock tire sizes. To determine the correct tire pressure for your specific Kia Carnival, consult the owner’s manual or the tire information placard located on the driver’s side door jamb.
- PSI – pounds per square inch (lbf/in2). 10 psi = 68.95 kPa/0.6895 bar
- BAR – one bar nearly equal to one atmosphere. 1 bar = 100 kPa/14.504 psi
- KPA – kilopascals is a metric unit of pressure. 100 kPa = 1 bar/14.504 psi
Kia Carnival has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS).
