The Ultimate Honda Tire Service

At Hendrick Honda of Charleston, we understand that tires are a vital part of any new, used, or Certified Pre-Owned vehicle, since they assist in getting a driver and passenger(s) from point A to point B. Furthermore, your vehicle’s tires should always be maintained, or else you could risk one of them blowing out, or even put your life at risk.

From a tire rotation to a tire alignment, our highly trained service technicians at our Honda service center in Charleston have your back! But how do you know when the time is right to service your tires? It’s definitely situational, but there are some indicators that can help you tell when it may be time to switch out your tires, or service them in some way. Continue reading along to find out more!

Replace Tires After Five Years Of Use

A general rule of thumb that’s good to follow when it comes to your tires, is to have them replaced, after around five years of use. However, it’s important to still visually inspect them within those years, to make sure they don’t need to be serviced in between.

Be sure to check to see if the tire treads are worn down, or if you need some assistance, our service technicians near Summerville can look at them for you! You and the technician should look out for any inconsistencies such as:

• Shallow treads
• Uneven tread wear
• Cracks between treads
• Rocks between treads, nails in tires, etc.
• Damaged valve caps
• Sidewall cuts or cracks and damage due to impact

Ten Year Maximum is the Cut Off

Even if the tires on your vehicle seem fine, and you don’t drive far distances often, it’s still a good idea to replace them for a brand new set after about ten years from their date of manufacture.

Why? Because the rubber that makes up a tire can become brittle and hard over time, which can cause the tires to develop cracks, as well as disintegrate.

Wheel Alignment after an Accident

If your car, truck, or SUV experienced an accident, or perhaps it hit something with an intense impact, there is a high chance you may need to bring it in to get the wheel alignment checked. This is because usually after an incident like this occurs, you may feel or hear strange noises or vibrations coming from the wheels.

If your vehicle’s wheels aren’t properly aligned and balanced, they can pull to the left or right while driving on a straight road. If you prolong fixing a situation like this, even more wear can affect your front tires and rear tires. So it’s very important to have them looked at if a situation like this occurs.
