Your Honda Tires— Alignments, Balance, & Rotate

Use Express Service When Your Tires Need Attention and Repairs

Hit an ugly pothole? It's best to drive your Honda through our digital alignment scan. It's easy as that after a hard hit to a pothole. It's FREE, and you don't need an appointment for the Express Lane.  Also know that it's super important to look at your tire afterwards. Once you are able to park, take a look for visual cues like cracks, cuts, bulges or blisters on tire including the tire sidewall. These shouldn't be ignored since it can create a safety concern. And we'll look at the rest of the tire that isn't easy for you to look at without your car being up on the lift.

If your steering wheel is shaking after hitting a pothole you've perhaps thrown off your wheel balance. That's important to fix. Or you may have rim or tire damage. Often times, you may not see pothole damage until it's already shortened the life of your tires.

Do Honda tires need maintenance service (rotation, balance, or alignment)? YES! Because it extends the life of your tire. That saves a lot of money. Tire check-up and alignments should be once a year. But there are several ways to know when to come sooner... Does your steering wheel shake? Come in! Is there a pull to one side? Does your car vibrate at higher speeds? Come in.

Before we go into repair or replace, let's start with fundamental tire maintenance that always begins with proper inflation. Underinflated tires increase the occurrence of hydroplaning because they may not appropriately disperse water. Proper tire pressure is important during our wet seasons; that's pretty much half the year in the Philly area from March through August being our wetter season after our winter brings ice, snow and slushy days.

If you think you need to add more air, simply stop in our Express Service Lane. We'll get you in and out in no time at all. No appointment is required.

Next, let's talk potholes... They are huge troublemakers. They can cause serious damage.

It's always a good idea if you feel the hard hit of a pothole to get the tire checked out. It's quick and easy if you bring your car to Scott Honda through our Express Service lane for tire inspection and repairs. No appointment is required.

What about tire replacement? How might you know if it's time for a change? Quick Tread Drive Over System, which we have at Scott Honda, makes tire replacement an easier decision for our customers. Learn more about tire tread.

In addition to Honda's recommended tire maintenance and replacement schedule in your owner manual, there are certainly tell-tale signs that indicate it's time to get your Honda's tires checked like seeing little cracks in tires, bulges or bubbles, uneven tread, and feeling a rough ride or vibrations.

Tire Maintenance: Tires impact the performance and safety of your Honda. Tire pressure should be checked regularly and you should bring your Honda into our Express Service immediately for inspection if visual indications or vibrations become apparent to you.

Keep in mind also, when you rotate and balance your vehicle's tires on a regular schedule, it can extend their lifespan and enhance their performance.

Tire Rotation: Your vehicle's wheels and tires should be rotated to ensure even tread wear. Rotation pattern depends on your drive train and tire type.

Tire Balance: Over time, driving on your vehicle's tires wears the tread, which can affect their overall balance. The slightest imbalance can be noticeable to the driver.

Tire balance and rotation, usually done in combination with one another, is recommended at the same interval as your Genuine Honda oil change, or every six months.

We offer the convenience of tire maintenance through our Express Service Department which delivers a quick, easy experience and flexibility for your schedule since no appointment is necessary!

Tire Repair: Has your tire pressure sensor light illuminated on your dashboard? It would appear as a small u-shaped tire tread with a "!" above it. Does your tire look deflated?
