There’s an old saying – “A pinch of prevention is worth a pound of cure” – which may well have been written by someone who neglected their car’s tires. It’s easy to take those four black rubber circles for granted, especially in a place like Elizabeth City, NC where our winters are relatively mild. But no matter where you live, tires do wear out, and not practicing sound tire care can hasten this process and cause a few other problems along the way. So whether you just bought a Hyundai Santa Fe Sport near Kitty Hawk, NC from us or you’ve been driving your Hyundai car for a few years, take our advice and take care of your tires.
One of the best ways to ensure a pleasant relationship with your tires is to visit our Hyundai dealership every 6,000 – 8,000 miles and have them rotated. This is a quick process that we can do while you’re here for something else, i.e. an oil change, and it’s just as effective as it is easy. Rotating your tires helps distribute the wear evenly between all four tires and keeps you from driving on one or two tires that aren’t performing as well as the others.
Another important thing to keep in mind as you survey our fantastic selection of 2017 Hyundai vehicles near Camden, NC is that you’ll need new tires around 40,000 miles. This is the limit at which most tires will have worn their tread down to the point of replacement. You can do a quick self-check by sticking a penny between two of the most-worn tread ridges. If Abe Lincoln’s head is fully visible, it’s time for new tires.
