Guide to Tires at Gettel Hyundai of Lakewood

Whether you’re navigating Highway 301 or running errands around Foxleigh, your tires handle every mile. At Gettel Hyundai of Lakewood, we make it easy to stay ahead of wear, pressure issues, and seasonal changes. From knowing when to replace them to recognizing uneven tread, our team is here to give you straightforward answers and top-tier service.

When Should I Get My Vehicle’s Tires Replaced?

On average, tires last between six and 10 years, but Florida heat, frequent rain, and stop-and-go traffic can shorten that window. Instead of guessing, check your tread depth with a penny – if the top of Lincoln’s head is visible above tread grooves, it’s time to act. Visible cracks, bulges, or exposed cords mean you need replacements right away. We recommend yearly inspections after the six-year mark, even if the tires look fine on the surface.

Why Do Tires Wear Unevenly?

If you’re noticing uneven tire wear, there’s probably an underlying problem. Some reasons uneven wear occurs include:

• Misaligned Wheels
• Incorrect Tire Pressure (Too High or Too Low)
• Unbalanced Tires
• Suspension Problems
• Aggressive Driving Habits

If wear patterns appear on just the edges, center, or one side, a quick visit to our service department can prevent further damage and help you avoid a potential blowout.

How Often Should I Rotate My Vehicle’s Tires?

Rotating your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles keeps tread wear even and handling balanced. Pairing tire rotations with your oil changes saves time and extends tire life in one stop.

What PSI Do My Tires Require?

Most Hyundai models require 32–36 PSI, but the exact number is printed inside your driver’s side door frame. Proper inflation improves fuel efficiency, handling, and tread life. If your TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) light comes on, we’ll check and adjust your tires for free – no appointment needed.
