Kia EV9 tires
The Kia EV9 leaves the factory on 255/60 R19 and 275/50 R20 depending on wheel size, and the 255/60 R19 113V XL below is the one most owners are replacing. XL is not optional here; it is what the car was type approved on. The Chevrolet Blazer EV takes the same size.

Your own placard is the authority. You will find it on the on the driver's door jamb, on the B-pillar. Where it disagrees with this page, it wins. Match or exceed the size, load index, speed rating and construction class it gives, and use its pressure figure rather than anything printed on the tire.
What changes on this car
Load index 113 on every fitment checked, 1,150kg per tire. The EV9 is a seven-seat SUV and among the heaviest cars on this site, so that is the number to check first.
The 19 and 20 inch wheels carry the same load index in different sizes, 255/60 R19 against 275/50 R20. The wider 20 inch tire is not a swap for the 19.
