My friend told me that rotating my tires can help with their longevity and even wear. Is this true for my Kia Stonic? And if so, when should I rotate my tires and how often?
ReplyYes, rotating your tires can definitely help improve their longevity. It helps distribute the weight and wear on your tires evenly, ensuring that they last longer and perform better. As for when to rotate them, it's recommended to do so every 6,000-8,000 miles or every 6 months, whichever comes first. This will vary based on your specific driving habits and the condition of your tires, so it's always a good idea to consult your owner's manual or a professional mechanic.
I personally rotate my tires every time I get an oil change, which is about every 5,000-6,000 miles. It's just easier for me to remember and it doesn't hurt to do it a little more frequently. Plus, it's always good to have a mechanic look at your tires and do a thorough check-up. So, my advice is to get them rotated at every oil change or at least every 6 months.
It's definitely something you should consider doing. When I got my Kia Stonic, I had no idea about tire rotation and it ended up costing me more in the long run. My advice is to have them rotated every 7,500 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. And if you live in a place with extreme weather conditions or rough road conditions, you may want to do it even more frequently.
