Kia Niro EV Spare Tire
The Kia Niro EV, an all-electic compact crossover, unfortunately does not come with a traditional spare tire due to its design emphasizing space utilization and weight reduction. Instead, it is equipped with a Tire Mobility Kit (TMK) for temporary solutions on flat tires, which consists of a compressor and a canister of sealant to patch minor tire damage for short distances. However, certain Kia dealerships or auto store locations may have compact spare tires that would be suitable for the vehicle. If one seeks to have a spare tire for emergencies, the size of the wheel is important, which for the Kia Niro EV is typically 16 inches in diameter for the base trim level, but can range up to 18 inches for higher trim levels.
Kia Niro EV models manufactured from 2019 to 2025 have tires with overall diameter of 26.3", allowing the use of a temporary spare tire with a near same diameter as the OEM tire. Tire diameter and wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific Kia Niro EV years and trims.
Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Kia Niro EV vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 25.5" to 27.1". Some Niro EV models may require the use of a traditional full-size tire as a spare. To ensure safe temporary mobility in case of a road emergency, always refer to the vehicle owner's manual for the correct Kia Niro EV spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
