You can get the cornering response, braking etc. of an 18 on 16's... Just pump those tyres to 48PSI ... And you don't have to worry about hydroplaning as well since hydroplaning speed equals 16*√(PSI pressure ) kph ...so at 49 it's over a hundred kmphr with good threads
@CarSceneKorea2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the info :) There's so much that simple tire pressures can do, but won't be all that significant on Niro and city drives tbh.

We are on our 3rd Kia. we selected Kias because if you buy the second car as soon as you finish paying for the first one (5th year), you can have the 2 cars covered under the 10 year warranty while carrying only one monthly payment (for the second car). I am not sold on the "EV only" platforms, but I think that my next Kia (with God's help) is going to be a plug-in hybrid. Thank you very much for the review,!
