Can I change my Kia Sportage wheels for off-road driving?
On your advice I have bought a Kia Sportage. I’m just wondering about the wheels. It has low profile tyres and I’m concerned that these may not be sufficiently robust for off-road driving. Is it possible to replace the wheels (19-inch) with a smaller size wheel and high profile tyres?

I am not sure which generation Sportage you bought – a new model has just been released – but you should be able to swap your 19-inch wheels for 16 or 17-inch versions that'll allow for more off-road-biased tyres.
