Spring - Tires
Your vehicle's tires are the one thing that stands between your car and the road, which means they're one of the biggest safety components on your vehicle. Making sure your tires have enough tread, are rotated frequently, and are inflated properly, are all important steps in your routine maintenance efforts during every season in Michigan. Spring tire care is especially important since rough winter weather can take a toll on your vehicle, and as the weather warms up we're inclined to hit the road more often. With the wet weather we experience during the spring season, more frequent road trips, and rough roads caused by winter weather, we want to help you remain safe when you get behind the wheel by properly caring for your tires.
In order to make sure your vehicle is ready for the warmer weather ahead, we recommend adding routine tire maintenance to your spring car care checklist. You can start by replacing your winter tires with all-season tires to help reduce wear on your winter tires so that you can continue to use them next year.
Additionally, spring tire care can be easy if you simply make sure your tires are rotated frequently, have enough tread, and are inflated properly through. What does this do? Routine tire care helps to:
- Extended Tire Life - Frequent tire rotations help to balance the wear on your tires, which allows for even wear and extended tread life.
- Optimized Vehicle Performance - With routine tire rotations and proper tire inflation, your car will perform better since it won't have to work as hard to move. By referencing the number on the inside of your door, you can ensure your tires are properly inflated. Paired with routine tire rotations about every other oil change, you can improve gas mileage and handling overall.
- Safety on the Road - Wet road conditions during spring can make for dangerous driving situations since it may harder for your vehicle to stop. Making sure your tires have a good amount of tread will offer maximum grip on wet roads so you can avoid hydroplaning. You can check your tire tread using the trusted penny test, or just bring your vehicle into Serra Honda Grandville to have it professionally inspected.
- Savings in the Long Run - Taking care of your tires will not only extend their life and keep your vehicle running optimally, but it also helps you save money in the long run since preventative tire care can help you avoid unexpected and expensive damage to the tires caused by neglect.
