As winter challenges us with its icy grip, don't forget to inspect your tires. Cold temperatures cause air molecules to contract, leading to deflated tires and potential driving challenges. Let's combat this winter pressure drop for optimal performance and safety.

How to Adjust Tire Pressure in Colder Weather:

Check Your Vehicle's Recommended Tire Pressure:

Begin by finding your vehicle's ideal tire pressure. Refer to your Kia owner's manual or the reliable sticker inside your driver's door jamb. Keep in mind that this air pressure number might not apply if you have aftermarket tires.

Use a Quality Tire Pressure Gauge:

Equip yourself with a dependable tire pressure gauge, whether digital or analog – whichever speaks the language of accuracy. Each tire, including the spare, deserves an individual pressure check.

Check Tire Pressure Regularly:

Cold weather can play tricks on tire pressure. Monitor it regularly, especially after significant temperature swings. A quick weekly checkup keeps the tire gods appeased. In areas with drastic temperature fluctuations, consider more frequent inspections.

Where To Pump Your Tires:

Many gas stations provide free or low-cost air pumps, perfect for a quick top-up. Keep some change handy, just in case. For home convenience, consider a portable air compressor – your personal pit crew ready for action in your garage or driveway.

Remember, adjusting tire pressure in winter is essential for safe and efficient driving. By following these steps, you can confidently navigate the winter roads. If questions arise, visit our Kia dealership – we're here to help you drive through freezing conditions with confidence.
