At Honda on Grand, our passion is ensuring that your Honda experience is absolutely top-tier. One of the most important aspects of that experience is your tires.

It's relatively simple, really.

Common Tire Conditions That Require Replacement

Tire Tips for Optimal Performance

Maintaining your Subaru's tires is absolutely critical to your experience as a Honda owner. Want to know how you can properly take care of your tires to ensure optimal performance between tire replacements? Feel free to ask our skilled and highly trained technicians for advice! In the meantime, here are a few helpful tips.

Check Your Tire Pressure

Even if you still have most of your tread left, a tire with low air pressure can lead to poor performance or even long-term damage. It's crucial that you maintain the recommended pressure to help preserve your tires' longevity. Several factors can affect tire pressure, such as punctures or cold temperatures. Be sure to check your tires' air pressure regularly to make sure that they're maintaining pressure and are free of leaks. Refer to your owner's manual for your model's correct pressure level.

Improve Fuel Economy

The U.S. Department of Energy states that you can add an additional 3.3 percent to your vehicle's fuel economy rating by maintaining properly inflated tires.* When not properly inflated, your tires can bring down the performance of other key components, such as your engine and transmission, leading to poor fuel economy. Inclement weather or adverse driving conditions can also make this worse. To obtain maximum performance and ideal fuel economy, check the recommended PSI in your driver's side door jamb, not the number on the tire.

Balance and Alignment

In the same way that shoes wear down unevenly, your tires often wear down unevenly as well. That's why regularly balancing and aligning your tires is absolutely crucial to maintaining the reliability of your tires. Even with recent innovations in tire manufacturing, it's still important to maintain your tires just like the rest of your Honda.
