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
