Kia Sportage Spare Tire

The Kia Sportage, a popular compact SUV, has a provision for a spare tire typically located in a compartment underneath the cargo area floor of the vehicle. The inclusion of a spare tire is crucial for emergency situations where a tire may get punctured or damaged, allowing the driver to replace it promptly. The size of the Sportage's spare tire may vary depending on the year and model of the vehicle, but usually, it's a "compact" or "donut" spare tire which is smaller and narrower than the regular tires, designed for short-term, emergency use only. It's intended for temporary use to get you to a safe location or tire repair shop and is usually rated for limited speeds such as 50 mph. Before using the spare tire, always refer to the vehicle ' s owner ' s manual for proper usage and restrictions. The spare tire of a Kia Sportage may not be of the same size as its regular tires, as vehicle manufacturers often equip their cars with space-saver spare tires to save weight and trunk space.

Kia Sportage models manufactured from 1995 to 2025 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 27" to 29.2", 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 Sportage years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Kia Sportage vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 26.2" to 30.1". Some Sportage 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 Sportage spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
