If you've never sought Honda tire service, you may miss out on a fundamental part of your vehicle's maintenance. The health of your tires is vital to not only your driving experience but to your safety as well. To help you get started, Honda Van Nuys shares everything you need to know about your vehicle's tires and how to care for them.
What Does Tire Service Entail?Â
All cars require special attention to their tires since they play a fundamental role in a vehicle's operation. Tire rotations are the most common form of tire service, but tire service can include tire repair and replacement and further services like wheel alignments and balancing.Â
How Often is Tire Service Required?Â
If you notice a tire is worn or frequently loses pressure, you should attend to that problem immediately. However, like many other maintenance tasks, tire rotation and wheel alignments should be performed regularly to ensure optimal performance.
A tire rotation and wheel alignment should be performed roughly every 10,000 miles, which usually aligns with every other oil change. Both services are covered by the Honda Service Pass program, making these dual-purpose visits free of charge for qualifying vehicles.Â
Caring For Your TiresÂ
Beyond regular tire service and utilizing OEM-spec Honda tires, you can adopt a few driving habits to ensure the longevity of your tires. First and foremost, you should avoid slamming on your brakes unless absolutely necessary. Tires wear down exponentially faster when skidding, reducing your vehicle's ability to maintain traction and adequate braking power.
You should also avoid hard cornering and abrupt accelerations, which can also cause skidding on the road. While we understand every driver has the urge to burn a little rubber, protecting your tires is much more important than a quick thrill on the road!
