In years past, new vehicles almost always came equipped with a spare tire. These days, in an effort to prioritize trunk space and fuel economy, this practice is no longer commonplace. New Kia vehicles no longer provide a Kia spare tire; instead, your vehicle is equipped with a Kia Tire Mobility Kit (TMK), which provides all of the necessary tools to repair a Kia flat tire should you ever experience one while driving in Raleigh.
Inside a tire repair kit, you will find everything you need to put a temporary fix on your Kia’s flat tire. Once repaired, you can safely make your way from your location in Durham or Apex to the nearest Kia service center to get a full tire repair or replacement. The tire repair kit offers a safe way to get yourself out of a pinch with a flat tire, without adding weight to your vehicle or sacrificing trunk space.

You can use your tire repair kit to fix up a Kia flat tire temporarily, but the patch job is not intended for long-distance driving. After repairing your tire, you should schedule an appointment immediately to get a new tire or have the existing tire professionally repaired.
If one of your Kia’s tires is punctured, here’s how you can use the Kia Tire Mobility Kit to fix it:
