Automatically reviewed answer

If the tyre has a visible sidewall cut or bulge, or is losing air, do not drive on it. Use a suitable spare, or arrange roadside help or an inspection on site. A qualified tyre specialist should assess the damage. A confirmed sidewall cut, puncture or bulge calls for replacement rather than patching. After the pothole impact, ask the shop to check the wheel and alignment too. Before choosing a replacement, check your Kia’s documentation for the approved tyre size and required load and speed ratings. The stated 185/65 R15 size alone cannot confirm suitability. Keep the tyres at the vehicle maker’s recommended pressure and slow down for potholes when safe. The supplied comparisons cover other sizes and do not establish which tyre better resists sidewall impacts in 185/65 R15. If you share the exact Kia model and year, the full tyre marking and the season you need, I can narrow the choice.
