That Lil Rocsta is so sweet... Looks like a jeep from the front, a suzuki from the side, and its got lockers front and rear. This is one killer Kia. I want one too. Or just the lockers off of it for my Sporty.
Good luck with that letter Moshe.

Being absolutely clear, at no stage to my knowledge has the SPORTAGE ever been sold with anything other than 205/70R15 or some countries 205/75R15 tire.
The only vehicles made with the 235/75R15 as standard were the Military versions sold into the South Korean Military.
Thread stops here. There is no alternative tire sizing label.
