Michelin X-Ice Snow winter tire, engineered for harsh Canadian winters, delivers grip and control on snowy, icy, and wet surfaces.

Choosing the right tires for your Kia Forte helps maintain the quiet ride, precise steering, fuel efficiency and confident braking that made this compact sedan one of the best values in its class.
The Kia Forte was offered in Canada as a sedan, a Forte5 hatchback and a Forte Koup, with trims ranging from fuel-efficient LX models on 15- and 16-inch wheels to sportier SX and GT versions on 17- and 18-inch low-profile tires. Each setup calls for tires suited to its size and driving style.
Whether you use your Forte for daily commuting, highway road trips or driving through slush and snow during the Canadian winter, the right tires improve wet and dry grip, ride comfort, cornering stability and tread life while keeping running costs low.
