Tire pressure is a crucial part of vehicle maintenance. Most models come standard with a tire pressure warning light to alert you when you need to add air. For the Kia Soul specifically, you always want to make sure that you don’t have too much or too little air. We’ll get into the harm each of those can do later. Keep reading to learn how much air should be in your Kia Soul’s tires.

Kia Soul recommended tire pressure
The crossover Soul is a great ride for families and adventurers alike. But it’s not going to go very far with popped or worn tires. Your tires on your Kia Soul should have a tire pressure of 33 PSI. If you are hovering just above or below 33 PSI, it probably won’t cause too much harm as long as you fix it in time. If you notice that your tire pressure light is on (exclamation point), just take your car to a local gas station with an air compressor (they’re almost always free). Simply set the compressor to the desired pressure, apply the hose to the tires, and remove the hose when the machine alerts you to. Bam, it’s that easy. It shouldn’t take longer than ten minutes. If, however, this doesn’t fix the problem, you may need new tires.
Why is it important to check your tire pressure?
When your tires are underinflated, your fuel economy, traction, and car’s structure are all at risk. Low air levels cause more drag and decrease your gas mileage. They also have a harder time gripping the road and can result in damage to the wheel bearings. Tires with too much air, meanwhile, are much more susceptible to popping. Tires with the perfect amount of air will make sure your gas mileage is as good as it can be and will lessen the strain on your engine.
