Tire Tread & Pressure Check Service

Tire Tread & Pressure Inspection

Your tires on your vehicle are the point of contact between your car and the road and as such, they should be in good condition for safety matters. If your tire pressure isn't correct, it can lead to problems. Over-inflated tires decrease the amount of tread that touches the ground and this gives you much less traction and stability and it can also make your tires more susceptible to blowouts. If your tires are under-inflated, they will wear out much faster and overheat which makes them lose their tread more quickly. This also makes the tread wear down to give you less traction on roads that are wet or have snow or ice on them.

Having Tire Tread and Pressure Service

Since the tire pressure greatly affects your tread wear, these are both important items to have checked occasionally. If your tires wear out prematurely, you will need to replace them at a substantial cost to you. It's more cost effective to keep an eye on the conditions of your tires and have them rotated at the correct intervals in your Kia vehicle manual. Not all car owners realize it, but having the proper amount of tire pressure in all of your tires saves you money at the gas pump. It can improve your gas mileage by over 3 percent, which can add up over the course of the life of your tires.

What Happens if I Don't Ever Have My Tires Inspected

Not having this type of service can lead to tire blowouts, which can be dangerous at highway speeds and cause a serious accident. You would also be susceptible to skidding on the roadways, tire separations when the tread separates from the tire and comes off it and excessive vibrations that can affect your steering. You may have a small puncture that can be repaired quickly and easily that will be found in this type of inspection service and it can save you the cost of a new tire.
