Proper tire care keeps your Genesis safe, improves fuel economy, and extends tire life.

**Tire Rotation**
We recommend rotating your tires every 5,000-7,000 miles or at every other oil change. Rotation moves tires from front to back and side to side, promoting even wear and extending their lifespan. Most Genesis owners rotate with regular service-ask about it when you schedule.

**Signs Your Tires Need Attention**
- Uneven wear patterns
- Visible cracks, bulges, or punctures
- Tread depth less than 2/32 inch (use the penny test: insert a penny upside down; if you see the top of Lincoln's head, it's time to replace)
- Vibration or noise while driving
- Low pressure warnings on your dashboard

**Tire Replacement**
Tire lifespan varies by road conditions, driving habits, and weather. Most tires last 3-5 years or 25,000-50,000 miles. We'll monitor tread depth during service and let you know when replacement is wise.

**Genuine Genesis Tires & Wheels**
We offer genuine OEM replacements that match your vehicle's performance and warranty standards.
