I have a 2017 Forte with the regular manual transmission 2L non-GDI engine. At about 19,000 miles I started getting a strange sudden drop in RPM at random times (idle or on freeway). I would mostly notice the loss in power when it dropped and it would return to normal usually in less than five seconds. Never got any codes and car ran great 99.9% of the time.
As I approached 23,000 miles it got more frequent and finally threw a P0302 (Cyl 2 Misfire). I inspected spark plugs first. To no surprise they were in great condition. I swapped cylinder 2's ignition coil to cylinder 3, cleared the codes with my scanner, and the coders all cleared. About two days later I got a P0303 (Cyl 3 Misfire).
I ordered a Delphi ignition coil (GN10877) on Rockauto to replace the suspect ignition coil. Haven't experienced the issue since. Car also idles so well now that I can't feel it in steering wheel or hear it at idle.
I had no idea how bad that ignition coil was until it was replaced and was still shocked that it started failing at 19,000 miles.
Pros: resolved misfire, smooth idle
Vehicle:
Kia
Mileage: 23000 km
Part number: GN10877
Using trico ultras on a 2019, no problems
Pros: no problems

Depo would probably improve on the design. Me and a lot of fellow Optima owners have burnt headlight bowls.
Pros: improve on the design
Cons: burnt headlight bowls
Vehicle:
Kia Optima
Our Kia did not come with a spare but with the fix-a-flat can and air compressor. This is the main reason I went with Bridgestone DriveGuards on the new wheels.
Pros: reason for new wheels

Kia
We put Primacy MXV4's on my GF's Kia Forte and love them.
Pros: love them

I've had Evo595 and they aren't that good. I ordered their RS-R and were sent RS-RR instead due to being sold out. These are so much better (quite loud if that's fine) have been on daily for 11k miles now with tread at okay level.
Pros: much better
Cons: quite loud
Vehicle:
Kia Sportage
Mileage: 11000 km
These tires have 17k miles on them in the city and are completely useless now. It feels like I am driving in my Jeep offroad. The car literally pitches and rolls at low speeds; at highway speeds it vibrates badly.
Cons: useless, terrible vibration
Vehicle:
Kia Optima
Mileage: 27359 km
The kuhmo solus are the worst tires I've ever seen cost way to much for what they actually do for mileage. I've seen brand new kia's with <20k miles need brand new tires after being factory equipped with Solus's.
Cons: worst tires ever
Vehicle:
Kia
Mileage: 20000 km
I would suggest the genuine Kia one, or a professional grade like NAPA's top line or an AC-Delco. I would avoid anything that says "USA Industries" or "Duralast" on it, based on personal experience. In our shop we have had nearly 100% failure rates with those brands.
Pros: genuine Kia, AC-Delco, NAPA
Cons: USA Industries, Duralast
Vehicle:
Kia Optima
Part number: 3730038400RU
