How to Take Care of Your Acura’s Tires

If you don't take care of your tires, you could end up with an unsafe and unreliable ride. Here are some quick tips on tire maintenance for your Acura:

• Tire pressure can decrease as temperatures decrease and increase as temperatures rise. Maintaining recommended tire pressures is important to maintain an excellent driving experience and avoid problems.
• Rotating your car's tires every 10,000 to 12,000 kilometers is recommended.
• Wheel alignment is performed to ensure that your tires are tracking straight and not pulling to one side or the other.
• If your wheels and tires aren't balanced properly, you may notice a vibration when driving on smooth roads.
• Don't mix and match tires from different manufacturers because sidewall construction and molding methods may differ between brands.
• Overloaded tires can get punctured more easily and are more likely to blow out at higher speeds. If you overload your vehicle, you are putting yourself at risk for an accident and those around you.
• As you drive, your tires are subjected to a lot of wear and tear. A tire that's worn out can lead to serious accidents, so it's important to check them regularly.
• Your tire's tread depth is a good indication of whether or not it needs to be replaced. If you find that one of your tires has been punctured, take it to a mechanic or a service center ASAP.
• Tires are an important part of your car, and having a good set will help with fuel efficiency, traction, and safety.
