What has four wheels and flies? Nope, it’s not a garbage truck. It’s a Hyundai sedan or SUV whose tires are always in tip-top shape. Some people take their tires for granted, and that’s understandable. After all, tires haven’t changed much in the last hundred-plus years. But to your Hyundai Santa Fe Sport near Mountain Top, PA, they’re just as integral to a smooth, hassle-free ride as any other key car component. Perhaps more so, since your tires are the only part of your Hyundai vehicle that remain in constant contact with the road.
So how do you ensure your tires are rolling well? For one, have them rotated every 6,000 – 8,000 miles. A rotation doesn’t take long at all – in fact, it’s something you can ask for when you bring your Hyundai sedan or SUV in for an oil change. Rotating the tires means they’ll wear evenly, as opposed to developing excessive wear and tear on one particular spot/tire.
Proper tire inflation is also important, and it’s another car-care step that many people overlook. The next time you put air in your tires, instead of eyeballing them and using your finger to gauge how inflated they are, use a pressure gauge instead and confirm that each tire is inflated to the same level – and that the level is the correct one. If you’d like a crash course in pressure gauge usage, we’re happy to provide one, because improperly inflated tires can result in abnormal wear patterns that will compromise your car’s handling, traction, and fuel economy.
