Surprisingly Michelin MXV4 tires but the tread depth seems VERY shallow on these tires than what I tested in Alabama last spring and the pattern even looks slightly different. I'm guessing it's OEM spec and not the same.

The Carens is expected to launch here in January 2007 and with a projected price in the mid-$60K, its main competition will come from the parallel-imported 1.8-litre Toyota Wish. The Toyota has the edge in third-row and boot space thanks to its squared-off rear end, but this also gives it a more utilitarian appearance than the stylish Kia. Looks apart, the Carens also has a more modern interior and greater refinement on its side, plus the assurance of full service backup from an authorised distributor. For the price, it's an unbeatable combination of virtue and value.
