How Do I Know if My Genesis Needs New Tires?

It is imperative to have a good set of tires on your Genesis vehicle if you want the car to continue to run smoothly. Here are some things to look out for to indicate that it may be time to schedule service with us:

• Age. Driving on old tires is a huge safety risk. Even if you don't drive a lot, the quality does degrade over time. We estimate that most tires are not meant to last more than six years. If it's been around that time, definitely come see us.
• Damage. When was the last time you took a good look at your tires? We know it's nice to stare at the beautiful exterior of your Genesis vehicle, but it's also important to check on your tires every once in a while. Do they have bulging, scalloping, or excessive wear? If they do, bring your car in. We will inspect to see if they need repairing, and give you our honest opinion.
• Tire Tread Wear. As mentioned before, worn down tires cause your vehicle to lose imperative traction making it harder to stop your car. Check your tire tread periodically to see how much is left. If you can see tire wear bars or your tires can't pass the "penny test," you need new Genesis tires.

And, of course, crazy things happen. If you drive over a nail or somehow get a flat, just give us a call. We are always here to help you.

What Services Do You Offer?

Since our service specialists are factory-trained technicians, they know how to do everything and anything related to keeping your Genesis safe. Typical tire maintenance usually involves the following inspections.

• Tire Alignment: Many things can cause your tires to become unaligned, such as hitting the curb or running over a pothole. With a tire alignment, we are simply adjusting the vehicle's suspension. We adjust the angles of your tires, which affects how they make contact with the road.
• Tire Pressure: We've all seen it. That dreaded low tire pressure light. Most people try to ignore that flashing light for as long as possible. We highly recommend that you don't. We even advise that you keep a tire pressure gauge in your car for extra safety. Weather can be a big factor in tire pressure. If you think your tire could be low on air, we will gladly fill it to the proper level.
• Tire Rotation:It is important to periodically change the position of all four tires on your vehicle - usually every 5,000 miles or so. This helps spread the wear evenly across all of the tires, which helps you maximize your tires' tread life - and keeps more money in your wallet. We recommend you do this with your oil change at our service center, but we are happy to do it whenever works best for you!
