When you buy a new Honda car or truck, it comes with tires that have been carefully selected by Honda’s engineering team to ensure the safety and performance of your chosen Honda vehicle. Over time, however, your Honda tires will naturally take on some wear and tear, eventually requiring replacement.
On average, tires will last you at least 6 years, and should be replaced before they become 10 years old, but your numbers may vary depending on how you drive and how quickly your tires wear out. With that said, there is much you can do to extend the lifespan of your Honda tires for as long as possible. Here are a few Honda tire care tips, straight from the technicians in our Countryside, IL tire center.
Extending the Life of Your Honda Tires
- Â Rotate your tires.
As you drive, your tires will exhibit uneven amounts of treadwear. Basically, this means your front tires may become worn down and unusable before your rear tires do. You can avoid this, extending the life of all four tires, by having them rotated regularly. Check your service manual for a specific recommendation, but generally tires should be rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles.
- Â Get your wheels aligned as needed.
Another important preventative maintenance step is wheel rotation. We recommend getting a wheel rotation whenever you start to notice your car “pulling” in one direction or another while you drive.
- Â Check tire pressure.
Ensure that you check your tire pressure regularly and fill the tires with air as needed. Avoid driving on underinflated tires, which wear more quickly and can be more easily punctured by road hazards. Be especially mindful of this in fall and winter, as the shift toward cold weather can have a big impact on tire pressure.
- Â Visually inspect your tires.
Every month or so, simply take a good look at your tires for a minute or two. If you notice a visible degradation in tire tread, that’s a sure sign that you should see your local Countryside, IL tire specialists.
- Â Seek professional care for your Honda tires.
If you have any questions about the viability of your tires, make sure you get a professional assessment from trained tire technicians.
