The better your treads are, the safer your vehicle will be to drive. It will accelerate more smoothly, have better traction in dangerous weather conditions like rain and snow, and the systems that work together to make your car function will last longer. When is the right time to get new tires from your local Hyundai dealer?

When Should I Get New Tires From My Local Hyundai Dealer? 

As a general rule of thumb, you should get your tires replaced every six to 10 years. Generally, tire manufacturers recommend that tires are replaced once per decade. However, Hyundai recommends that tires are replaced every 50,000 miles.

The clearest sign that it is time to get your tires replaced is a very worn tread. The easiest way to tell that your tires need to be replaced immediately is to put a penny into your tire tread groove. The head of President Lincoln should be facing downwards. If you can see President Lincoln’s entire head, your treads are too shallow for you to continue driving safely.

Why Should I Go to an Authorized Dealer to Get My Tires Replaced? 

You should get your tires replaced at an authorized dealer of Hyundais because we can help you get the right tires for your car and driving conditions, and we can get them installed right the first time. We have a wide array of quality tires, including all-weather tires, winter tires, and high-performance tires. Regardless of your tire needs, we are partnered with the best possible tire manufacturer for your situation, and we’ll ensure you get the tires that are the appropriate size for your vehicle.

How Can I Help My Tires Last Longer? 

You can help your tires last as long as possible by making sure the correct air pressure is maintained in your tires at all times. Some vehicles will alert you if your tire pressure is low in one or more of your tires. If you don’t have such technology integrated into your vehicle, make sure you check your tire pressure at least once per month. It is also important that you ensure even tire wearing by getting your tires rotated every 5,000 miles.

While you’re getting your tires rotated, have a certified Hyundai technician balance your wheels. Also, come in every six months to get your alignment checked. This process doesn’t take long, but it is extremely important. You may have an alignment problem if you notice your vehicle pulling in one direction or the other. This can be caused by hitting a pothole or curb.

As a general rule of thumb, you should have the tires on your Hyundai replaced every 50,000 miles. Keeping to this tire replacement schedule will ensure your vehicle remains as safe as possible and help to maintain the integrity of your vehicle. Routine tire maintenance will extend the tire’s useful life.
