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 Rio helps preserve the excellent fuel economy, nimble handling and dependable braking that make this subcompact one of the most affordable cars to own and drive.
The Kia Rio was sold in Canada as a sedan and as the Rio5 hatchback until 2023. Its light weight and compact footprint mean most versions use small, economical 14- or 15-inch tires, while sportier SX and EX Premium trims step up to 16- or 17-inch low-profile tires.
Whether you drive in dense city traffic, on daily highway commutes or through snowy streets during the Canadian winter, properly selected tires improve wet and winter grip, steering response, ride comfort, rolling efficiency and tread life.
With Blackcircles.ca, find affordable tires matched to the dimensions and driving characteristics of your Kia Rio, from fuel-saving all-season tires to winter tires built for safe, confident driving all year.
