How often should I change my Kia Stonic’s tires?

I’m a new Kia Stonic owner and I want to make sure I’m taking good care of my car. I’ve heard that tire wear is important for maintaining safety and performance, but I’m not sure how often I should be replacing my Kia Stonic’s tires. Can you give me some advice on when I should change them?

The frequency of tire changes depends on several factors such as your driving habits, road conditions, and tire quality. In general, you should aim to replace your Kia Stonic’s tires every 50,000 miles or every 5-6 years, whichever comes first. However, it’s important to regularly check the tread wear and inflation of your tires to ensure they are safe and performing well.

As a general rule, it’s recommended to have your Kia Stonic’s tires rotated every 6,000 miles or every 6 months. This will help evenly distribute wear and extend the lifespan of your tires. If you notice any significant uneven wear or damage on your tires, it’s best to consult with a professional to determine if they need to be replaced.

Don’t neglect the importance of regularly checking your tire pressure as well. This not only helps improve fuel efficiency, but it also promotes even tire wear. It’s a good idea to check your tire pressure at least once a month, or before embarking on a long road trip.
