Kia Stinger: Tires and wheels / Wheel alignment and tire balance, Flat Spots

Kia Stinger CK 2018-2023 Owners Manual / Maintenance / Tires and wheels / Wheel alignment and tire balance, Flat Spots

When the vehicle is made ready to drive again, lower the tire pressure to the recommended levels as shown on the Tire and Loading Information label in the driver’s side center pillar for your vehicle (Refer to “Tire specification and pressure label” in chapter 8).
