Best Tires for Kia Carnival

The Kia Carnival replaced the Sedona in 2022, bringing an updated, crossover-styled design to the minivan segment. It competes directly with the Chrysler Pacifica, Honda Odyssey, and Toyota Sienna, making long-wear, quiet, and reliable tires the right priority for most Carnival owners.

Kia Carnival tire sizes

2022-current Carnival: 235/60R18 (LX), 235/55R19 (EX, SX, SX Prestige).

The 235/55R19 is the dominant fitment for SX and SX Prestige trims, which represent most of the market.

Continental PureContact LS in 235/55R19: excellent wet braking, low rolling resistance, and a refined compound that complements the Carnival quiet cabin.
