The tires are the only part of the vehicle that comes into contact with the road. This is why it’s essential that all four tires are in good condition and why it’s crucial to heed the signs that they are due for replacement. Here are the symptoms that your car needs new Honda tires.
Visible Signs of Worn Tires
Perform a visual check of your tires once a month. You can do this as part of a tire care routine that includes checking the tires’ psi. Look for these signs that indicate excessive tire wear:
- Extensive cracking in the sidewall
- Bubbling or bulging in the sidewall
- Inadequate tread depth. Perform the penny test to determine if ample tread remains.
- Tread wear that’s more pronounced in one or more tires than the others.
- Signs of air loss every time you perform a pressure check. This may indicate damage to the treads, sidewall, or valve stem.
Signs of Worn Tires While Driving
Your tires will also give off signs that they’re worn while you’re behind the wheel. Be cognizant of the following abnormalities.
- You notice vibrations even when driving on a smoothly paved road. You’ll especially feel the vibrations in your seat.
- The vehicle gradually veers to one side of the road even when the steering wheel is straight.
- You hear a rumbling noise that gets louder as you pick up speed; this noise often stems from more of the tires’ surface making contact with the road due to insufficient tread depth.
