    Balancing old tires

    Yes. Rotate them to the front and see if the vibrations are then more prominent in the steering wheel. Also, do you know if they were just spin balanced? Or roadforce balanced? Technically, you could spin balance a square and it would “balance” lol.

    Does the KIA engine warranty cover excessive burning?

    It might. Those engines now carry a lifetime unlimited mileage engine warranty since they have a known defect. My dealer told me that 1qt per 1200 miles would be considered normal. Keep in mind that most of these engines during a typical 3750 mile oil change interval will eventually seize due to...

    Take Me To Paint And Body Work School

    If you're looking for feedback from P&B professionals you'd probably be best served finding a forum for such and posting your question there. Although I can almost certainly guaranty that you will get varying opinions there as well.

    21 mm Impact Socket issue with impact wrench

    Lugs are probably swollen, common on Toyotas. Either replace, or as suggested, get a slightly bigger socket. No need for a "Hyundai" Socket. I use this one $4. https://www.harborfreight.com/12-in-drive-1316-in-deep-impact-socket-67780.html

    '13 Kia Optima - or '15 Ford Focus?
