Tires Do More Than Just Go Round and Round

Did you know that the tires you can purchase at BJ’s, Costco and other retail facilities are not going to provide the same quality handling and ride as the original tires that you had purchased with your vehicle?  Honda vehicles are subjected to many rigorous tests prior to being released for purchase. One of the many tests is used to determine which tire matches the vehicle’s needs.  Honda looks at:

·       Safety

·       Riding

·       Handling

·       Noise

·       Effects on fuel economy

 

Even though you can purchase Dunlop, Bridgestone or Michelin tires, be aware that they are not the same quality as the tires that are purchased through Route 23 Honda.  The handling characteristics are not the same; they can be noisier and cause your fuel mileage to drop.

 

One of the advantages of purchasing or servicing your vehicle at Route 23 Honda is that we offer Nitrogen Fill for your tires.  Nitrogen is denser than air and this density will prevent the loss of tire pressure (due to drastic temperature change), improve fuel economy and also help to extend the life of your tires.  Nitrogen fill also comes with a 1-year roadside warranty. Why chance your vehicle safety by purchasing or servicing your car anywhere else?

 

Tips on how you can expand the life of your tires:

·       Check the tire pressure when the tires are cold (or have not been driven recently)

·       Rotate your tires

·       Have an alignment every year or every 15,000 miles

·       Try to avoid potholes in the road (I know that we are in NJ)

·       Avoid Erratic driving habits
