[di-image id=’T3JpZ2luYWw6MTAzODg=’ size=’large’]

You can either schedule Honda tire rotation in Port Richey yourself or have it taken care of as part of your manufacturer recommended service schedule, but this isn’t a maintenance task you can afford to skip or delay. It’s generally recommended you have your tires rotated every six months or 6,000 to 8,000 miles, which means most Honda vehicles will have theirs rotated whenever the oil is changed.

Of course, not every driver knows why having their vehicle’s tires rotated is so important, so we’re here to fill you in. Simply read on to learn:

• What Tire Rotation Involves
• Why Tire Rotation is Important
• Signs Your Tires Need to be Rotated

What Tire Rotation Involves

Tire rotation is easy enough to understand. It simply involves moving the position of each tire. For most Honda tire rotations, this will mean:

• Switching the tires at the front with the tires at the rear.
• Switching the tires on the left with the tires on the right.

This is done because some tires are put under more pressure than others, which means they wear down faster. This is known as uneven wear.

Why Tire Rotation is Important

When your tires wear down unevenly, the tread on one or more will be shallower than on the others. This might not seem like such a problem, but it puts you at added risk of:

• Flats and Blowouts
• Poor Traction
• Poor Fuel Efficiency

If nothing else, uneven wear means you’ll almost certainly have to replace your tires more often. By arranging regular rotation, you’ll get the most mileage possible out of each one.

Signs Your Tires Need to be Rotated

If you’re worried your tires might need to be rotated, all you need to do is watch out for these common signs as you travel across Clearwater and beyond:

• Visibly Uneven Wear
• Rough Ride Over Even Terrain
• Air Pressure Loss in One Tire
• Needing to Add Fuel More Frequently
