I recently bought a Kia Sportage and I'm wondering how often I should change the tires. I drive mostly on highways and occasionally on rough roads. What would be the best time to change the tires and which type of tires should I go for?
ReplyHi Sarah, congratulations on your new Kia Sportage! It is recommended to check your tires every 6 months or 6,000 miles, whichever comes first. Based on your driving habits, you might need to change your tires every 2-3 years. For highway driving, all-season tires would be a good choice, but if you encounter more rough road conditions, all-terrain tires would be more suitable.
Hey Sarah, it's a good question. Generally, tires should be replaced every 6 years regardless of mileage. However, with highway driving, it's important to check the treadwear regularly and replace them sooner if necessary. I would recommend investing in high-quality tires for better performance and durability. Also, make sure to rotate your tires every 5,000-8,000 miles to ensure even wear and prolong their lifespan.
Hello Sarah, it's important to pay attention to the condition of your tires. For highway driving, you should get them checked every 1-2 months. If you notice any uneven wear or cracks, it might be time to replace them. And for rough roads, all-terrain tires are the way to go as they provide better traction and durability. Remember to always check the air pressure as well, as this can greatly affect the performance of your tires.
