Why is tire maintenance important for my Honda Civic?
Before we hop into the specific services that your Honda Civic's tires should have performed at our service center, we want to make sure you understand why these are necessary in the first place. It's common that some of our customers simply don't understand, and that's okay! We're always learning, and everyone must be on a level playing field here. The thing is, the tires on your Civic are in charge of your vehicle moving in the first place. When you have tires that are not performing as they should, you can experience issues with vibrations, loss of control in low-traction environments, and even dangerous blowouts. The better care that is given to your tires, the less likely it is you are to have to deal with any of these dangerous events. Our team here at Pearson Honda is always here to give you true security.
What tire services are available at Pearson Honda?
- Tire rotations: You may have heard about tire rotations before, but what do they actually do, and how often should they be done? We always recommend checking in with your Civic's Owner's Manual; however, a broad number for this should be about every 5,000 to 8,000 miles! Tire rotations work by helping your Civic avoid uneven wear in the tires, as the specific placement in tires can be worn down over time. When you rotate the tires to new locations, you allow for even wearing, which can allow the tires to last you for that much longer.
- Wheel alignment: Are you worried that your tires may be unaligned? Are they turning you in a direction without you choosing to turn that way? Wheel alignments allow our service technicians to adjust the angles of the wheels and suspension components to ensure they meet Honda's specifications, and allow you to move freely without worrying that your tires are steering you wrong. We especially recommend this when you get a new set of tires!
- Tire balancing: Do you have any shaking or vibrations as you drive? This could mean that your tires are no longer balanced! Our professionals will remove each tire, place it onto a tire balancing machine, and spin it to figure out how imbalanced they are. Once that is taken care of, the team will install the right wheel weights to give you the smooth ride that you are searching for.
- Pressure check: The final service we want to discuss for your Civic's tires includes tire pressure checking. The pressure in your tires is what is responsible for making sure that they can work perfectly to provide traction and stability as you drive. Under- or over-inflated tires can spell trouble in a variety of ways that would be better to avoid. Our team will always look at the owner's manual to see the tire pressure that Honda recommends, and we'll be able to test to make sure that we are not over- or under-inflating your vehicle's tires.
Can I check my Civic's tread depth at home?
Yes! We highly encourage our customers to be proactive with their vehicles and to put forth extra effort to do things at home, especially in regards to tire tread depth. This is something that everyone can do without much fuss and without costing too much time. All you have to do is get out a penny, find the part of the tire where the tread has worn down the most, and place the penny in to make sure that Lincoln's head is upside down. What you want to see is Lincoln's head being covered by the tread, and what you do not want to see is that all of Lincoln's head is completely visible to you. If that ends up being the case, then it may be time to get in contact with our service center so we can get you a new set of tires. Remember to repeat this process on all of your tires!
