The snow is beginning to melt and spring is right on the horizon! And with a new season comes temperature changes of up to 20 degrees difference in a single day! These extreme temperature fluctuations can really affect your tires PSI and cause dangerous driving conditions! So, King Kia has compiled information on why keeping your tires at their proper PSI is so important! Take a look at our list below and if your ride is in need of a tire replacement, take a look at King Kai's Tire Store to find your perfect fit! Why Your Tire’s PSI Is So Important: Proper PSI will help optimize performance and your vehicle's fuel efficiency. This is especially useful if you tend to run your A/C or heat for long periods of time and increasing gas prices). Avoid sidewall flexing and tire squirm when properly inflated. Avoid potential dangers like collisions, blowouts, heat build-up, and potential rolling hazards. Correct PSI improves durability and performance designed to match the specific needs of your vehicle. PSI stabilizes the tire’s structure, blends responsiveness, traction, and handling. Extreme temperatures and driving conditions will affect your tire’s PSI. Underinflated tires can wear prematurely due to being soft and unable to maintain their proper shape. Overinflated tires can wear unevenly due to being rigid and hard. It can also lead to a tire blowout. If your vehicle has been sitting for a long period of time, chances are the PSI is incorrect and you will need to fill up the tires. Vehicles that sit without being used have a tendency to have under-inflated tires. Your tires will last longer and the tread won’t wear out as easily if your tires are always properly inflated to the correct PSI.

Schedule your service appointment at the King Kia Service Center in Gaithersburg, MD today! King Kia’s Tips For Keeping Your Ride Warm: Park in the garage When it gets bone-chilling outside, it’s important to keep your ride warm. Parking in your garage or even a covered space will help keep your vehicle a few degrees warmer and will help shield your ride from the elements. Invest in a remote start system Before heading out into the cold, start your vehicle about 10 to 15 minutes before you’re ready to hit the road. This will help get your engine warmed up while you finish getting ready for the day! Check for antifreeze in your radiator Running on just water inside your radiator can cause your engine to freeze which means it could take longer to warm up. If you use antifreeze inside your radiator, your vehicle is likely to warm up faster and defrost your frozen toes! Install a block heater on your engine This is typically the fastest way to heat up a chilled engine and help warm up the cabin of your vehicle. A block heater has been known to work better with engine components and has less wear in the long run. Heated seating Most vehicles now offer heated seats as either a standard or add on option, we encourage you to invest and keep your backside warm on the chilly days you may encounter!
