To stay out on the road, you need your tires to be well-maintained and functioning. That means having the right tread and utilizing services to ensure they last. At Honda of Ames, we're able to provide it to you via tire services and can recommend what's needed and when you might need new tires.
You should have a tire rotation every 6,000 to 8,000 miles to help keep the tire tread evenly spread to reduce wear so they last longer. Also it's a good idea to schedule alignments for the wheels, which aligns the axle and suspension so your tires are touching the road evenly, also reducing wear. Alignments should be done every six months to a year based on driving habits. You can also test your tire tread wear easily. If you use a penny and place it heads up and downward into a tire tread and see all of the head, that's when you know you need new tires.
