Kia Soul tire size

Original tire sizes for the Kia Soul, model years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. Trim levels and wheel packages change the size within the same year, so confirm on the door-jamb sticker before ordering.

Check this first
Front and rear Same size One size fits all four corners on the fitments we list.
Wheel sizes 16", 18" The wheel package decides which one your car has.
Tire sizes listed 2 In 6 model years more than one size was fitted, depending on trim.

Check before you order. The surest answer is the tires on the car right now: the size is molded into the sidewall. The placard inside the driver's door tells you what the factory fitted, which can differ from what a previous owner put on. Our guide on reading a tire size shows exactly where to look.

Which brand should you pick?

Kia does not stamp its own approval code on tires the way Porsche or BMW do. Any tire in the right size that meets or exceeds the load index and speed rating on your door placard is a legitimate replacement, so pick on wet braking, tread life and price. Our picks for each size are on the size pages below.

Every US car built since 2003 carries this placard. It also gives the pressures, which the sidewall does not: the number molded into the tire is the maximum it can hold, not what your car wants.

Kia Soul tires: common questions

What size tires does a Kia Soul take?

The most common original size is 205/60R16. Other model years and trims use different sizes, so check the list on this page and confirm against the sticker inside your driver's door.

Can I fit a different size on my Kia Soul?

You can, within limits: the overall diameter should stay within about 3 percent of the original, and the load index and speed rating must meet or exceed the door placard. Anything further changes your speedometer reading and can rub at full lock.

Where is the tire size on a Kia Soul?

Open the driver's door and look at the white and yellow placard on the door jamb or the B-pillar. The same size is also molded into the sidewall of the tires currently on the car, unless someone changed them.

What size tires does a 2019 Kia Soul take?

The 2019 Kia Soul came from the factory on 205/60R16 and 235/45R18. Wheel packages can change that within the same model year, so check the placard inside the door jamb before you order.

What size tires does a 2018 Kia Soul take?

The 2018 Kia Soul came from the factory on 205/60R16 and 235/45R18. Wheel packages can change that within the same model year, so check the placard inside the door jamb before you order.
