You may not think about them often, but your tires are critical for your Honda’s continued performance. Tires help keep us moving smoothly on the road every day. Your tires work hard for you, but over time they will wear out. So how can you tell when it’s time to give them a retirement party and head to your Honda dealer for some new tires? There are some common signs to watch out for.
Tread Depth
The tread on your tires is what gives you traction on the road, especially when the weather’s not playing nice. An easy way to check on the depth of your tread is something called the penny test. Take a penny and stick it head-first into the tread. If you can see all of Lincoln’s head, it’s time to start shopping for a new set of tires.
Uneven Wear
Have a look at your tires. Are they wearing down more on one side than the other? Uneven wear can be a sign of alignment issues, needing a rotation, or that they’re just plain worn out. Regular tire rotation can help keep the wear even, but if they’ve already worn down unevenly, it’s probably time for a change.
Vibration and Strange Noises
If your Honda is shaking more than usual or making odd noises, don’t just crank up the radio and hope it goes away. It could mean your tires have an uneven wear pattern, or that there’s an issue with your balance. It’s wise to get it checked out sooner rather than later.
Visible Damage
Take a moment to visually inspect your tires. Do you see any cuts, cracks, bulges, or bald spots? These are all signs that your tires might be weakened and could potentially lead to a flat or even a blowout. And nobody wants to deal with that on their way to work or during a road trip!
Constantly Low Pressure
If you find yourself needing to pump up your tires frequently, it could be a sign of a slow leak. Sometimes this can be repaired, but it might also be an indication that fresh tires are in your near future.
Head to Your Honda Dealer for New Tires
The best place to get those tires replaced is always your local dealership. The technicians here know your vehicle inside and out and are prepared to find the perfect tires for your specific Honda model. We’ll make sure that your alignment and balance are all set, so your replacement tires will last for a long time.
If you’re noticing any of these signs, don’t wait until it’s too late. Roll on into the dealership and give your car the fresh set of tires it deserves. Your car will thank you with a smoother ride and better performance. If your tires are on their last legs, visit Ed Martin Honda for the TLC they need.
