What the handbooks don't say
- Only the 20MY edition was read; later (2021 facelift, 1.0 T-GDi mild hybrid) editions not verified.
Figures marked "Maker's handbook" 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 handbook prints. Nothing here has been checked against your car: if it disagrees with the label on the car, the label wins.

Tyre pressure questions
What tyre pressure should a Kia Stonic have?
It depends on the tyre size and, on some versions, the engine. For the sizes Kia lists, the normal-load pressure is 34 psi (2.4 bar) at the front and 31 psi (2.2 bar) at the rear. Find your size in the tables above, and check the tyres cold.
What size tyres does a Kia Stonic take?
Kia fitted the Stonic with 185/65 R15 and 205/55 R17, depending on the generation and trim. The size is printed on the side of your tyre; the pressures above are listed by size.
Where is the tyre pressure label on a Kia Stonic?
On most cars it is on the driver's door pillar or inside the fuel filler flap. It normally gives the same figures as the handbook, which is where the ones on this page come from — if the two ever disagree, go by the label on your car.
When should I use the fully laden pressures?
When the car is carrying a full load — every seat taken, a full boot or a trailer. For everyday driving use the normal figures.
