It’s time for new tires, and now you are wondering what shoes you want to put on your car. Choosing the correct tire for your vehicle means looking at various sizes, types, and brands. The professionals at your Kia dealer will be able to help you choose what kind of tire you need, get the right size, and get them installed onto your car in no time.
If you do a lot of cross-country travel, you may want to look at a set of touring tires. Touring tires are a good choice for any season. They have a higher speed rating and an asymmetrical tread pattern, making them different from your typical all-season tire. These tires are designed for sedans and sports cars that need extra traction and handling
Track Tires
If you are a speed demon who loves to fly down the track, you need to look into purchasing track tires. These tires are similar to competition tires in that they are not meant for daily driving. They have minimal tread and siping and have a short tread life. These tires are meant for extreme performance when you are pushing for speed in your EV6 and looking to make the most of its 320 horsepower.
Summer Tires
Summer tires are perfect for driving in wet and dry conditions during the hot months. These tires have little to no siping, making them perform differently than all-weather or winter tires. Summer tires have increased grip and responsiveness that helps them to be hydroplane resistant. This type of tire is best for sedans and those who are not traveling through areas with harsh winters.
All-Season
All-season tires are very popular in the United States. These tires have symmetrical tread patterns that work to provide you with exceptional traction on dry and wet roads. All-season tires can handle everything from rain to summer heat and light snowfall. However, these tires are not designed for extreme weather conditions, including heavy snowfall.
Run-Flat Tire
You can also choose to look into a run-flat tire. These tires have reinforced sidewall construction or support rings with hard rubber on the interior of the tire, allowing you to “run” while flat for short distances. These tires let you head to the repair shop rather than changing your tire on the side of a busy road. Additionally, the reinforced tires ensure that you are less likely to lose control of the vehicle if it is punctured.
