When you think about car maintenance and the critical things you need to do to keep your Honda model running smoothly, how high do your tires rate? It’s a common problem. We don’t often think that much about our tires until something like a flat happens.
However, keeping up on your tire maintenance may be more important than you know.
It’s a sad fact that tire maintenance isn’t often high on our lists, even here in the Parkville, MD area. We want to change that. That’s why we try and go above and beyond when it comes to Honda service.
Tire Rotations
Rotating your tires, the process of switching the positions of your tires to accommodate wear patterns, is one of the easiest maintenance things you can do and one of the most vital. After all, your tires are the only part of your vehicle connecting you to the road below you.
Depending on whether your vehicle is front-, rear-, or all-wheel drive, your tires will wear at different paces. However, keeping up on maintenance is essential. The driven wheels do more work by nature and, therefore, often show earlier signs of wear. This is why a typical rotation pattern involves switching the front tires with the back tires.
When to Rotate Your Tires
So, when should you be rotating your tires? It depends on how much you drive, your driving habits, where you’re driving, and more.
That said, the general rule of thumb is that you should rotate your tires in the timeframe of every 7,000 to 10,000 miles. For a more accurate interval based on your vehicle, don't hesitate to reach out to our team.
