It’s one of those tasks that some of us tend to put off but rotating the tires on your Honda every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, or at another interval if your owner’s manual recommends it, can save you money and keep you safer on the road. Those are two good reasons to make scheduling a tire rotation at your Honda dealer a regular part of your calendar.
5 Benefits of Getting a Tire Rotation at Your Honda Dealer
1. You’ll Extend the Life of Your Tires
Periodically rotating the position of the tires on your vehicle evens out the wear they experience and extends their life. On a typical front-wheel drive vehicle, the front wheels take more of a beating than the rear wheels.
During a rotation, the rear tires are usually moved to the front of the vehicle, and the front tires are moved back. Rotating your tires doesn’t take long to do. It can usually be done in less than an hour, and we frequently rotate tires during oil changes.
2. Your Vehicle Will Be Safer to Operate
Tires that wear unevenly don’t grip the road as thoroughly and are more prone to skidding in wet, snowy conditions. When the treads on your tires wear unevenly, your vehicle is also more likely to shake, making it difficult to steer and control the vehicle. These vibrations may also delay your response time.
3. You’ll Minimize Wear and Tear on Your Vehicle
The shaking that can develop when your tires are unevenly worn can also take a toll on other aspects of your vehicle. The suspension system, brakes, and wheel bearings are all affected if your car is driven on unevenly worn tires. Regularly rotating the tires gives your vehicle a smooth ride and doesn’t put other major vehicular systems at risk.
4. You’ll Improve Fuel Efficiency
Tires that aren’t worn evenly create more resistance on the road. That extra drag requires your vehicle to use more gas and forces you to fill up your fuel tank more frequently.
5. Your Vehicle Will Handle More Easily
When your tires have been rotated and are wearing evenly, your vehicle will be much easier to control. You won’t have to fight against bouncing or jerking as you steer. Your vehicle will drive smoothly and will be responsive, and being behind the wheel will be enjoyable.
Having the tires on your vehicle rotated is a simple service that pays big dividends. Why not enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing you’re driving on tires that have been well-maintained and properly maintained? When you’re ready to schedule your next tire service, call Power Honda.
