The Importance of Tire Rotation & Balancing on Your Honda

Tire Rotation – During the everyday operation of your vehicle, your Honda will place differing levels of wear on each tire separately. If this is left unchecked, different tires will wear out much faster than others and leave you with the need to replace them sooner. It can also affect grip and make your handling capabilities weaker. Rotating your tires will place more worn-out tires on the spots where there is less wear and vice-versa. This promotes more even wear and lets you keep your current set of tires for longer.  

Tire Balancing – Much like rotating your tires, balancing them involves adding weights to the assembly between your wheel and tire. This helps prevent increased wear and promotes a smoother ride. You will also find that properly balanced tires help increase your vehicle’s overall gas mileage and you’ll have improved steering capabilities over time. We suggest having this service done at the same time as a tire rotation to make sure everything looks great before you go back out on the road.
