Tire service is a seasonal service that can benefit your Kia vehicle greatly. Whether you drive a Kia Spectra, a Kia Telluride or a Kia Forte, routine tire service is highly recommended. Why? Our service department team at Healey Kia in Newburgh, NY has your quick rundown.
Importance of Tires
Tires keep your vehicle rolling from here to there around Poughkeepsie. Tires must meet certain performance criteria in order to optimize efficiency on your vehicle. Adequate tire pressure prevents the generation of excessive heat. It also slows the rate of tire tread wear, preventing unsafe slippage and premature tire replacement.
Tires also work with shocks, struts and your vehicle's suspension system. Tires absorb impact and shock, keeping your vehicle's powertrain from taking a beating.
Types of Tire Service
Tire pressure checks and tire rotations are two types of common tire service. The first is easily confirmed via the tire pressure monitor that your vehicle might already have. Tire rotations must be done by professionals.
During a tire rotation, our Middletown area dealership service techs swap each tire's position on your vehicle. This exposes each tire to more even tread wear. More even tread wear preserves more even grip, traction and stability. It also enhances efficiency.
Seasonal Tire Changes
Depending on where you live and the kind of vehicle that you have, consider seasonal tire changes. All-season tires are pretty standard, but there are other options. There are also summer, performance and all-terrain tires, all worth considering when tire changes become necessary.
Wheel Alignment Service
Wheel alignment service typically happens every two to three years. However, our Healey Kia service techs check wheel components often, just to be safe. Also, we often bundle wheel alignment service along with other services, making them available on special year-round.
Wheel alignments ensure a smoother ride, enhance efficiency, improve steering and tire longevity. Schedule service today, or bring your Kia vehicle to our Kingston, NY area dealership service department at your earliest convenience.
