What Are OEM Tires?
OEM tires are the ones that were delivered with your car from the factory - In other words, your Kia was specifically designed with these tires in mind. That's why it's important to replace them with tires that are suited to your vehicle, and when the time comes, we usually have them in stock.
At Kia of Saco, we offer all the OEM brands you trust, including Michelin, Continental, Nexen, Goodyear, and Hankook, as well as others. Our tires are competitively priced and installed by Kia factory trained technicians. If for some reason we don't have your tire in stock, we have access to three regional tire warehouses, so we can get you the right tire when you need it!

Every time you visit Kia of Saco, we inspect your tires for wear, and if necessary, we'll give you an estimate of what your vehicle requires for proper tire fit. When making decisions about your tire purchase, remember that you should only install the proper rated tire (refer to your owner's manual) for your vehicle so it'll handle the way it was intended to.
Besides offering the right tire, when you need it, we also offer spin balancing as part of our professional installation. While you're here, don't forget to have your alignment checked to make sure your next set of tires last as long as possible. Improper alignment is the number one cause of premature tire wear.
Tire Facts
. Tires lose about 1 psi of pressure each month.
. Tires will lose an additional 1 psi of pressure for every 10 degree drop in outside temperature.
. In a P225/60R16 97V the "97V" is probably the most overlooked part of the tire. The 97V is the load and performance rating for your specific vehicle.
. Tires should be rotated every 10,000 km to ensure maximum tread life.
