Notes from the owner's manuals
  • 205/60R16 92H: The 2022 manual prints normal load "2.3 (33/230)" and maximum load "2.5 (36/250)" (bar (psi/kPa)) across front and rear, for all three sizes. Load index and speed symbol taken from the table's own LI / SS columns.
  • 205/60R16 92H: The 2023 manual prints "33 (230)" (psi (kPa)) across front/rear for normal and maximum load. Not listed in the 2024 or 2025 manuals.
  • 215/55R17 94V: Printed front "35 (240)", rear "33 (230)" for normal and maximum load; same in the 2024, 2025 S114 and 2026 manuals.
  • 235/45R18 94V: Printed "33 (230)" across front/rear for normal and maximum load; same in 2024, 2025 and 2026.
What the owner's manuals don't say
  • MY2021 manual not on the host; the 2022 and 2023 editions disagree on the 215/55R17 figure and on maximum-load pressures — newest editions recorded for 2023 on

Figures marked "Owner's manual" link to the maker's own document. "Reported" figures are the maker's, read from a copy we could not get from the maker directly. A figure marked ≈ has been converted from the unit the manual prints. Nothing here has been checked against your vehicle: if it disagrees with the placard on the door jamb, the placard wins.

Tire pressure questions

What should the tire pressure be on a Kia Seltos?

It depends on the tire size. For the sizes Kia lists, the cold pressure is 33–35 psi at the front and 33 psi at the rear. Find your size in the tables above, and check the tires cold.

What size tires does a Kia Seltos take?

Kia fitted the Seltos with 205/60 R16, 215/55 R17 and 235/45 R18, depending on the model year and trim. The size is printed on the side of your tire; the pressures above are listed by size.

Where is the tire pressure placard on a Kia Seltos?

On the driver's door jamb — the Tire and Loading Information placard. It gives the same cold pressures as the owner's manual, which is where the figures on this page come from; if the two ever disagree, go by the placard on your vehicle.
