FAQs - Answers to All Your Tire Service Questions in Springfield, OH
If you have any questions about tires for your Kia in Dayton, OH, Jeff Wyler Kia has the answers; here are a few of the most common questions our Tire Center has heard:
What are the different types of Tires available?
The most common tires are passenger and light truck tires. These are usually all-season or all-terrain. All-season radial tires are most common on passenger cars.
How do I choose the right tires for my vehicle?
Choosing the right tires in Columbus, OH, starts with knowing your tire size, which can be found on the side wall, your tires, or the driver's door. Your typical driving conditions should also be considered.
What do the numbers on the sidewall mean?
The series of numbers and letters on your tire indicate the type and size of your tire. A P for passengers is common, although LT for light trucks also exists. The next few numbers are the tire's width in millimeters. The next two numbers are the aspect ratio of the sidewall height to the width. Next, you'll see an R for radial, the construction used to make the tire. Next is the rim size in inches. After that is the load rating; the larger the number (up to 125), the more load the tires can take. Finally, the speed rating is T, which is most common with a speed rating of up to 130 mph.
How often should I rotate my tires?
You should rotate your tires with every oil change in Urbana, OH.
When Should I replace my tires?
You should replace your tires when they show excessive wear or damage like cracking or bulging.
What are the signs that I need new tires?
If you can place a penny with Lincoln's head down and none of his head is covered, you should replace your tires. This can also be determined by observing the wear bars molded into the tread; when they are even with the tread, you need new tires in Fairborn, OH.
How do I check my tire pressure?
Using a tire pressure gauge pressed into the valve stem. Most public air pumps also have a gauge built in.
What is the difference between run-flat tires and regular tires?
Run-flat tires are designed to drive for a short distance at a slow speed with low air pressure.
What are the benefits of tire balancing and alignment?
There are many benefits to having properly balanced and aligned wheels. They are safer and quieter. You will also get better gas mileage, and your tires will last longer.
