Honda Tire Maintenance: Ensuring Your Safety

November 09, 2024 · 3 min read

When you think about safety in a vehicle, you most likely think about the brakes and maybe Honda's Sensing suite of safety features. And while those are important, your tires are just as important. Regular tire service from your Honda dealership will go a long way towards protecting you and your family.

Honda Tire Service: Ensuring Your Safety

What You Can Do

There are two things you should be doing regularly to ensure your own tire safety. The first is checking your tire pressure. When a tire is underinflated, not only does the quality of the handling suffer, but you also have a greater threat of blowouts. Overinflated tires can get damaged more quickly and also compromise your safety. Check the pressure once a month to make sure it's within the ideal range.

The other thing to do is to keep an eye on your tires themselves. Modern tires have tread wear bars that will start to show as the tires get old. You should also come talk to us if you see any bulges in your tire.

What Your Honda Dealership Will Do

Rotate Twice a Year

Because we tend to drive over the same roads in the same ways throughout the month, our tires tend to wear out unevenly. The tire on one side, for example, is constantly hitting that same pothole or taking that same curve. Meanwhile, the tires in the front are usually experiencing more wear because they're holding up the engine, which makes the front of the vehicle heavier than the back. We rotate your tires twice a year so that they wear out evenly and there's less risk that one of them will suddenly blow out.

Realign Yearly

Every time you go over a pothole or take a speed bump only on one side of the vehicle, it starts to misalign your tires. This can also happen because of uneven weight distribution within the vehicle; and it just happens naturally over the course of driving. About once a year, you should bring your vehicle in so we can make sure the alignment is true, and this means you'll always enjoy the secure handling you expect.

Trip Inspection

Even if you have just recently had the tires replaced, it's always a good idea to get an inspection before you take the vehicle on a big road trip. If you are planning a trip, come and talk to us, and we'll do a tire inspection. We'll make sure there are no weak points, bulges, or holes that you might've missed so that you can be confident of your safety.

For tire safety you can count on, come to Honda Auto Center of Bellevue, WA.

Five Benefits of Honda's Extended Warranty Plans

Honda is renowned for its reliability, but every car needs periodic service to stay at its best. The extended warranty plan from Honda provides comprehensive care and valuable protection. You can find out more about these benefits at your nearest Honda dealership. 1. Comprehensive Extended Warranty Plans The Honda extended warranty is known as Honda Care and operates on an exclusionary basis. This means that everything is included unless specifically stated otherwise. The terms and conditions list any parts that aren't covered by the warranty. This makes Honda Care one of the most comprehensive types of warranty available. more 2. Trusted Honda Care With certified technicians and genuine Honda parts, you won't receive better care than at your local dealership. There may be generic parts that can be used in your Honda, but they won't have the same precise fit. Unauthorized parts will also void your warranty. An extended warranty ensures that you'll continue to receive the same first-rate care from experts who know your Honda inside and out. 3. Extended Warranty Protection While Traveling Whether you drive locally or further afield, you'll have the full protection of Honda with you. The extended warranty includes 24/7 roadside assistance so you can get help whether you break down, run out of fuel, get a flat, or even lock yourself out. If you are more than 100 miles from home, you'll also be eligible to receive $100 per day for meals and lodging, up to a maximum of three days. 4. Transferable Extended Warranty Coverage The extended warranty is perfect for drivers who plan to keep their Honda well beyond the manufacturer warranty period. However, the warranty is also great for drivers who aren't sure of their future car plans because it's transferable. This means if you sell your Honda privately, the warranty can transfer to the new owner. This makes your car more attractive to buyers and boosts its resale value. 5. Peace of Mind Budgeting for maintenance and unplanned repairs can be a concern, but a warranty provides peace of mind. The comprehensive nature of Honda Care means that you don't need to worry about what costs might arise. Honda technicians can help with any service inquiries and provide advice on the best way to look after your car for long-term reliability. Discover More Extended Warranty Benefits The above highlights are just some benefits you can enjoy from the Honda warranty, but there are many more to discover. Speak with your local dealership to discuss your car and get the protection you need. Whether you just want more information or you're ready to take out an extended warranty, we can help.
