Performance Starts Here

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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Tire Rotations and Balancing

How often should I rotate my tires?

Most Honda vehicles should have their tires rotated every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. This is typically around the same time you're due for an oil change, making it convenient to have both services performed during the same visit. Regular tire rotations help promote even tread wear, improve handling, and extend the life of your tires.

Do you rotate tires for free with an oil change?

No. While we provide a complimentary multi-point inspection with every oil change, tire rotations are a separate maintenance service. Regular tire rotations help promote even tread wear, improve handling, and extend the life of your tires. If your Honda is due for a tire rotation, our service advisors can recommend the appropriate service based on your mileage and Maintenance Minder™ system.

Can uneven tire wear mean something else is wrong, like alignment or suspension issues?

Yes. Uneven tire wear can be a sign of wheel alignment issues, worn suspension or steering components, improper tire inflation, or tires that haven't been rotated regularly. If left unaddressed, these issues can shorten tire life and affect your vehicle's handling. During your service visit, our technicians perform a complimentary multi-point inspection and can evaluate your tires, alignment, and suspension to help identify the cause of uneven wear and recommend the appropriate repairs.

How long does a balance and rotation service take?

A tire balance and rotation service typically takes about 90 minutes to two hours. Service times may vary depending on your vehicle and our service schedule. To help minimize your wait, we recommend scheduling an appointment in advance. While you wait, enjoy our comfortable customer lounge with complimentary Wi-Fi, coffee, a children's play area, and a big-screen TV.

Should I get my tires balanced even if I don't feel vibration?

Not necessarily. If you aren't experiencing steering wheel vibration, vehicle shaking, or uneven tire wear, your tires may not need balancing. However, if you've recently installed new tires, had a tire repaired, struck a large pothole or curb, or notice vibration at highway speeds, it's a good idea to have your tires checked. Our technicians can inspect your tires and determine whether balancing is recommended to help promote a smoother ride and even tread wear.
