Tire Service at Premier Kia Of Kenner

Your tires put on a lot of wear and tear, mile after mile, to keep you moving forward safely down the road. Premier Kia of Kenner is proud to provide tire service to help you stay safe as you drive around Baton Rouge, Kenner, and Chalmette.

Tire Pressure Check

One of the most important and simplest things you can do for your vehicle is to maintain the correct air pressure in the tires. Most modern vehicles include a tire pressure monitoring system to detect when the air pressure is below what it should be. This system sends a warning to the driver to have the tire inflated to the correct level.

The tire pressure monitoring system can last for many years. It can stop working and need to be repaired. If the light comes on and stays lit even though the tires have the correct pressure, it indicates that the system is malfunctioning. Sometimes, the light will stay lit even after you air up the tire until you drive around and it can readjust.

Wheel Alignment

Wheel alignment is how your wheels sit on the road and is tied to the steering system. New vehicles have wheels aligned and balanced to provide a smooth and stable ride. Over time, they can get out of balance and alignment by hitting curbs and potholes or just driving over rough roads. When wheels are out of alignment, it causes the tire tread to wear down faster and unevenly, which may make your vehicle less safe.

You can bring your vehicle in for a wheel alignment with the service experts at Premier KIA of Kenner. We’ll reset the wheels to factory specifications and add weights to balance the wheels.

Tire Rotation

To help your tires wear evenly, you need to have them rotated on a regular basis. Tires wear differently, depending where they are located on the vehicle. You can rotate from front to back, side to side, or at a diagonal, depending on how the tire is designed.

When your tires aren’t rotated and the wear is uneven, it puts you at risk on the road. The tires won’t grip the road as well in slippery conditions. They may also be more susceptible to a flat.

Tire Replacement

Even with the best care for your tires, they will need to be replaced in time. Some tires can last for 40,000 miles or even twice that long. When you bring your vehicle in for service, our service technicians will check the tread and let you know when it’s time to replace the tire. We carry a variety of tires from various brands and with different warranties to fit your needs. Whether you’re looking for an off-road tire or a performance tire, you can find the right style here.
