Your Tire Questions Answered at Asheboro Honda

When should my tires be rotated?

About every 5,000 to 8,000 miles, or just have them checked whenever you get your oil change.

When do tires need to be replaced?

Replace your tires if they they are too worn (or almost too worn) to be considered fully functional. Watch your vehicle’s tread level indicator by taking a look regularly. If the indicator is flush with the surface of your tire, it’s time to shop for a new set of tires.

How do tires influence gas mileage?

Properly inflated tires can help your car run as efficiently as possible. Overinflation or underinflation can negatively impact gas mileage.

Why is tire maintenance important?

Regular tire rotation and pressure monitoring keeps you safe and keeps your vehicle functioning properly. Plus, tire care extends the life of your tires, saving you money in replacement costs in the long run.

Why is my tire maintenance warning light on?

Tire maintenance lights can appear because of an abrupt change in weather, because you have exceeded your car’s mileage setting between tire rotations, or because your tires are over or underinflated. If you can’t figure out the cause for yourself, bring your car to Asheboro Honda so that our service team can take a look.
