Summer Tire Care Tips for Honda Vehicles
Tire Care Tips for Hot Virginia Roads
Summer driving in Roanoke, Salem, and beyond can take a toll on your tires. Heat, road trips, and extreme weather all contribute to wear and tear. For Honda owners, proper tire care is essential for safety, fuel efficiency, and vehicle performance. That's why our team put together these Honda tire care tips to assist you.
Inspect Your Tires for Summer Wear
Before your next road trip or commute, check:
- Tire tread depth: Minimum legal tread is 2/32 inch, but we recommend replacing at 4/32*.
- Tire pressure: Heat causes air to expand, so check pressures when tires are cool.
- Visible damage: Look for cracks, bulges, or nails.
*Easy Tread-depth Check. Use a Quarter for a quick 4/32 tread depth check. The top of Washington's head is about 4/32 of an inch from the edge of the quarter.
Honda Tire Maintenance: Rotate, Align, Replace
Honda recommends tire rotations every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. This helps ensure even tread wear, especially important for front-wheel-drive models like the Honda Accord and CR-V. Wheel alignments also keep handling smooth and tires from wearing unevenly.
