Keeping your tires balanced and rotated is one of the easiest ways to improve fuel efficiency and extend tire life. Tire balance and rotation are critical to fuel efficiency as well as safety. Your vehicle's tires don't wear evenly in the front and back. To keep your tires in optimal condition, rotate them according to your vehicle maintenance schedule and have them regularly balanced at Moss Bros. Honda in Moreno Valley. Properly balanced and rotated tires will last longer, and proper inflation will help you maximize your grip on the road and reduce braking distance. Whether you're in Riverside or San Bernardino County, we're conveniently located to serve you.
What is Tire Balancing?
Tire balancing is a service that fixes uneven weight distribution in a vehicle's tires and wheels by adding small weights. Your wheel is placed in a spinning machine, and the machine detects any spots in your wheel that are heavier or lighter than others. The technician then adds a weight to the opposite side of the rim to balance the load.
Signs You Need Tire Balancing
There are a few signs that you need tire balancing. If you feel vibration in your steering wheel or floorboard, your seat shakes at higher speeds, you see uneven wear in certain spots on your tires, or you hear unusual noise like humming or thumping while driving.
What is Tire Rotation?
Tire rotation involves moving your vehicle's tires from one position to another to ensure even tread wear. Usually, you should have your tires rotated every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, conveniently around the same time you should get your oil changed.
Why Tire Rotation is Important
Typically, your vehicle's tires will wear out at different rates. Your front tires might wear faster than your rear tires, so rotating your tires helps them last longer. With even tread depth, your vehicle will feel more balanced and safe on the road.
