Why You Should Have Your Tires Rotated & Balanced

Rotating Your Tires is Important Routine Maintenance on Your Honda

When you are scheduling your next routine maintenance appointment at Thelen Honda, consider a tire rotation as part of the work. Our Bay City Service Center staff is eager to take care of all tire related servicing needs. Why is a tire rotation so important to the overall health of your Honda in mid-Michigan? Not only will you get to have a smoother ride, but you’ll also reduce the overall wear and tear on your tires and your vehicle. Thelen Honda suggests that if you haven’t had your tires rotated in the last 5,000 to 7,500 miles to consider getting your vehicle in for the important service.

Why a Tire Rotation is an Important Service to Have Done 

Improved Overall Tire Wear – When you’re driving around town or the highway, different parts of your Honda will place more wear on a specific tire or multiple tires compared to others. When you have your tires rotated, our technicians will place the tires that have greater wear on them in the spots where the vehicle puts less overall wear on the tire and vice versa. This results in more even tire wear and greatly lengthens the longevity of your current set of tires. 

Better & Smoother Ride – Riding on tires with uneven wear has an immediate effect on your handling performance. You may even notice that the ride is bumpier and feels unlike when the tires were new. With a proper rotation, you’ll immediately feel the difference when it comes to the overall ride smoothness and the grip potential of the Honda. Your vehicle’s shocks and suspension will also thank you for having the tires rotated and the ride smoothed out. The less uneven the ride, the longer your vehicle will feel great to drive in between shock and strut maintenance.
