How often should I change the tires on my Kia Rio?

I've had my Kia Rio for a few years now and I'm wondering how often I should be changing the tires. I've heard different recommendations and I don't want to risk driving with worn out tires. Can someone give me some advice on when I should change my tires?

It's generally recommended to change your tires every 5-6 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. However, if you live in an area with harsh weather conditions or do a lot of highway driving, you may want to change them more frequently.

It's important to regularly check the tread depth on your tires and replace them when they reach 2/32 of an inch. This is the minimum legal tread depth and driving with tires that have less tread can be dangerous. You can also look for signs of wear or damage like cracks, bulges, or uneven wear on the tires.

Another factor to consider is the type of tires you have on your Kia Rio. If you have all-season tires, you may need to replace them more frequently than if you have high-performance tires. It's important to check your owner's manual or consult with a tire specialist for specific recommendations.
