As the only parts of your vehicle that connect you to the road, tires are critically important. When you bring your vehicle into our dealership for Honda service in Virginia Beach, one of the things that our expert mechanics will check is your tire health.
The good news is that proper tire maintenance is quite simple. Here is a list of precisely what kinds of services your car tires need to properly function.
Tire Rotation
Regularly getting your tires rotated is an essential component of proper tire maintenance. During a tire rotation, our technicians remove each wheel and places it in a different location on the vehicle to ensure that the tread is wearing evenly. Make sure to follow the tire rotation schedule listed in the owner’s manual of your Honda CR-V or other Honda model.
Air Pressure
Another critical aspect of proper tire maintenance is to keep your tires properly inflated. Under-inflated tires decrease your vehicle’s fuel efficiency, while over-inflated tires increase the risk for a dangerous blowout. Most Honda models manufactured after 2007 come equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems, which notify you when your tire pressure is getting low.
Tread Depth
The tire tread is what enables your vehicle to grip the road and maintain control. If the grooves in the tires have become worn down, the vehicle won’t grip the road properly, which is a safety hazard. If you wish to test the tread depth of your tires on your own, you can use the quarter test. Find the area of the tire with the lowest tread, take a quarter and insert it into the tread, and if you can see all of George Washington’s head, your tire needs to be replaced soon.
