For every vehicle, there will come a time when a tire rotation will be in order. If you’re curious to learn why staying on top of this form of vehicle maintenance is beneficial, then continue reading this short guide from our Atamian Honda team.

A tire rotation involves adjusting the position of a vehicle’s tires with the intention of boosting their long term performance. However, what happens if you don't get your car a tire rotation at the proper intervals? It might be a problem that arises gradually, but you will eventually start to notice some deficiencies in performance, such as an imbalance in handling. This occurs because of how treadwear can affect tires. If these components are never rotated from their original position, then all the damage and degradation will occur on the same locations. The end result is that one section of the tires will be grossly worn down, thus compromising performance as a whole even if the rest of their surfaces are still in good condition.

Here at our Service Department, we can take care of a tire rotation for you without issue. First, we’ll have to start by ascertaining what direction your car’s tires need to be rotated in. This can differ depending on the drivetrain your Honda model uses. For example, a Honda Accord will need to be rotated in a specific fashion as it only has FWD, whereas the Honda Pilot can come equipped with FWD or AWD, so its rotation won’t necessarily be exactly the same. While you’re here, we’d also be more than happy to check other elements of your vehicle’s tires, such as their air pressure levels, to ensure they're as road-ready as possible.

If it’s been several years since the last time you got new tires for your Honda, then we’d strongly recommend seeking out some new components. Unfortunately, a tire rotation isn’t a form of maintenance that can keep tires performing at their best indefinitely, so new units will be in order at some point. To give your car the right equipment it needs for supporting your future daily cruises on I-495, all you need to do is check out our Parts Department and learn more about how you can order fresh components from our dealership. We’re now celebrating 100 years of business for the Atamian Family, so come visit us to partake in our continued excellence by providing you with the services you and your vehicle need!

A tire rotation can reduce the severity of treadwear on specific sections of the tire and generate better long term performance as a result.
