Your vehicle’s most important safety feature is your tires, and as the temperatures drop and autumn transitions into winter, it’s a good time to stop by our Honda service center to have your tires inspected. From everyday wear to winter weather prep, understanding how and when to replace your tires can make all the difference in keeping your vehicle safe, efficient, and smooth on the road. Keep your car ready for whatever the road and the weather throw your way with a visit to Royal Honda.
How often should I replace my tires?
You should consider changing your tires every six years, or sooner if the tread is worn or damage is visible. The condition of your tires plays a huge role in safety, traction, and fuel efficiency, so it’s important to check them regularly for signs of wear. Red flags include cracks, bulges, or uneven wear patterns, which may indicate alignment or suspension issues. Even if your tires look fine, aging rubber can harden over time, reducing grip, so don’t rely on appearance alone.
Do I need to replace all four tires at once?
You don’t need to replace all four tires at once, but it’s a good option for balanced performance and safety. Having tires with uneven wear can affect traction, handling, and braking, and it can put a strain on the drivetrain. If you only replace a pair, be sure to install the new tires on the rear axle for better stability. One of our expert technicians at Royal Honda can measure tread depth and help you decide whether to replace two or all four, ensuring your car stays safe and smooth on the road.
Should I switch to winter tires for cold weather?
Switching to winter tires when temperatures drop is one of the best ways to stay safe and in control during cold-weather driving. Unlike all-season tires, winter tires are made with special rubber compounds that stay flexible in freezing conditions, giving you better traction on icy roads. Although southeast Louisiana doesn’t see a lot of snowfall, cold temperatures alone can make regular tires harder and less effective. Consider investing in a set of winter tires to improve braking, handling, and overall confidence behind the wheel when the roads turn slick.
