Close Tire Care Tips in Chicago, IL
Whether you drive off the beaten path or commute on I-294 each day, the tires on your Kia are vital. Tend to them at Evergreen Kia and get professional advice from our team of experienced technicians.
Driving Habits
The way that you operate your Kia Sportage, K5, or Telluride plays a major role in how long the tires will last. Your Chicago adventures put the tires under constant stress, but paved roads are still better for the car than gravel and dirt streets. Rocks and debris can cause unnecessary damage to the rubber. Additionally, stopping suddenly can rapidly degrade the surface of your tires. To avoid such an occurrence, we recommend traveling at or below the speed limit to give yourself enough time to slow down gradually rather than slamming on the brakes. This is also beneficial to your safety, as it can make it easier to avoid danger on your way to Burnham Park.
Maintenance
Tires typically last three to five years depending on how much you drive, but in order to get the most of your set, it’s important to get routine maintenance. Biannual tire rotations are essential to the lifespan of your car’s components, as they make sure that each one gets the same amount of use. This service prevents the front set from wearing down before the back, and it allows you to take advantage of 4-tire discounts when it comes time to replace them. Additionally, we suggest getting a wheel alignment once a year to keep the suspension in line with the tires. When you visit our Service Department, we can inspect each tire for damage, and we can even patch minor punctures if necessary.
Types of Tires
Another way to care for your tires is to avoid subjecting them to weather conditions that they were not made for. All-season tires are great, but they are not designed to handle extreme climates like the winter temperatures we experience in Chicago. Winter tires have deep grooves to properly grip snow-covered roads, as well as a flexible design that can handle the cold. If you drive with these parts, be sure to change them out for summer components when the temperature outside begins to rise. These are excellent for hot, dry, and wet conditions alike, but shouldn’t be used in the winter. You can ask a tech at our location if you are still unsure of which is right for you.
