Tires are an important part of your vehicle helping to keep you driving straight on the road as well as helping with braking and traction during wet and snowy conditions. Unsure if your tires need replaced? The following are some examples of when your tires need replaced. Tread depth: One way to check for worn tires is to measure the tires tread depth. When your vehicle's tread depth is less than 2/32 of an inch deep then it is time to replace your tires. Tread wear indicator bars: Many tires have built-in tread wear indicator bars that become visible when the tire tread has worn down to a certain point. These bars can usually be found in the grooves between the tire tread blocks. If the bars are visible, it's time to replace your tires. Uneven wear: If your tires are worn unevenly, it may indicate an alignment or suspension problem. Look for signs of cupping, feathering, or uneven wear on the tire tread. Age: Even if your tires look fine, they may still be worn if they are too old. Most tire manufacturers recommend replacing tires after six years, regardless of their condition. If you notice any of these signs, then be sure to schedule with one of our service departments here at Honda of Altoona to get a new set of tires put on your vehicle.

Wheel alignment service is an important service to prevent your vehicle tires from wearing down unevenly. Your vehicle’s wheels are suppose to be perpendicular to the ground and parallel with each other but over time they get out of alignment. At Honda of Altoona, one of our certified technicians will use specialized equipment to measure the angles of the wheels and make adjustments as needed to ensure proper alignment. This typically involves adjusting the camber, caster, and toe angles of the wheels to the manufacturer’s specifications.
