Question on the "All Season Tire Package"

[KikoTheAkita]

New to this forum, so forgive me if this has been discussed before, but is the "All Season Tire Package" a set of wheels and tires IN ADDITION TO the standard equipment, or is it IN PLACE OF the standard equipment.? And what's the rationale for requiring the "Drive Wise Package" for $2000 when you select this option? It almost seems like Kia thinks that if you select this option, that you need assistance driving the car.

Where are you seeing this? I do not see any option for all season or winter package.

On Kia's website, when I select a GT and AWD. https://www.kia.com/us/en/build/sti...&model=756&exterior=592&interior=593&fabric=1

I am not 100% but with AWD this package is included but that' what you get the 18" all season tires on the 18" wheels. Curious because I want RWD but I would like a all season tire option with GT 19" wheels

No all season tire option for the RWD, this can be something they can offer. I would want the RWD and get winter tires/wheel setup or just throw on some good all seasons for the winter and switch back to the summer when it is warm.

No idea why - I guess ... that the car needs the extra ECU's so they can limit the speed to 140mph if you pick the All Weather Tyre's.

However do not get the Pack. Stick with the standard (assuming you don't want the Drive Wise Pack) ... and then just buy additional Winter Tyres (or All Weather if you prefer) ... As your 19"'S are replaced with 18"'s ... not additional.

Yes it might costs you $1k more ... but at least you get the car you want without restrictions or paying for extra's you don't want.

Get the RWD version, order up some winter or Ultra High Performance All Season tires, get them put on if you plan on picking up during the winter.
