Keep Your Tires Balanced & Rotated with Thelen Kia
Keeping your Kia’s tires reliable for as long as possible is something that will aid in not only improved handling performance but also saving you money over time. The best way to ensure the longevity of your tires is by routinely bringing them in for both balancing and rotating. Two different procedures that are often done at the same time, they are vital to the overall health and performance of your tires all year long. Thelen Kia in Bay City, MI, would like to share with you specific reasons why you should not skip out on these important maintenance procedures. Whether you plan on having us do just the rotating or balancing, or you are also getting your routine oil change at the same time, our Service Center is ready to happily assist you!
Why Should I Balance & Rotate my Kia’s Tires Regularly?
Consistent Wear – When you get your tires rotated, our technicians will remove all the tires and then put them in a different placement on the vehicle to ensure that they get even contact on the road. Different tires will naturally experience varying wear which can cause performance issues and eventually quicker replacement for the affected tires. Simply moving them around to different spots greatly aids in the longevity of the tires.
Proper Balance – Similarly to how different tires will naturally be impacted by the road based on the location on the vehicle, the weight of each tire must also be balanced to ensure optimal maneuverability and health. During a balancing appointment, our technicians at Thelen Kia will use special weights to ensure that each tire matches up with the others so that the load each tire bears is as equal as possible.
All-Weather Handling – As the tread on your tires gets worn down over time, the ability of your vehicle to properly grip slippery surfaces such as rain, snow, or ice becomes diminished. Uneven wear makes this problem worse, as you won’t have a consistent level of control over your vehicle under these circumstances. Properly balancing and rotating your tires evens out wear and also makes it take longer for tries to lose enough tread to be a problem.
