How often should I replace my Kia Sportage's tires?

My Kia Sportage's tires are starting to wear out and I'm not sure when I should replace them. Is there a specific time or mileage when I should change them? I want to make sure I'm keeping my car safe and performing at its best.

Replacing your tires is not just about time or mileage, it's also about regular inspections. It's recommended to have your tires checked every 6 months or every 6,000 miles, whichever comes first.

The lifespan of your tires also depends on your driving habits and conditions. If you frequently drive on rough terrain or make quick stops, your tires may wear out quicker than the average driver. It's important to regularly evaluate the condition of your tires.

One way to check if your tires need to be replaced is by using the penny test. Place a penny with Lincoln's head upside down in the tread grooves. If you can see all of Lincoln's head, it's time for new tires.

Another important factor to consider is the age of your tires. Most tire manufacturers recommend replacing tires every 6 years, even if they appear to have good tread.

Don't forget to rotate your tires every 5,000-7,000 miles to ensure even wear. This can help extend their lifespan and improve overall performance.
