There are two things we don't suggest ever doing with your Acura vehicle. One of them is neglecting key maintenance. The other is doing that maintenance yourself. Case in point: your tires. Acura cars and SUVs are among the safest vehicles on the road, but if your tires are improperly mounted and balanced, or if they're worn, it's not nearly as safe as it could be. Here's why you should bring it to your Virginia Beach, VA Acura service center.

Tire Wear

Tires wear out easily. The problem is, even though your owner's manual will have guidelines for tire replacement, that isn't always your best guide. If your commute takes you over some bad road surfaces, if you're prone to putting the pedal to the metal, or if your tire pressure's off because of weather, a slow leak, or improper inflation, your tires may wear out ahead of schedule. Age can also cause tires to bulge, leak, or crack; that's as true of your spare as it is of the tires your car rides on daily.

Buying New Tires

So why not just go to the local discount tire spot, buy four fresh tires, and mount them yourself? For one thing, coming to Hall Acura Virginia Beach ensures that you get OEM tires that are recommended for your specific Acura vehicle. For another, our technicians are trained not only to mount and balance your tires properly, they can also spot tire wear that indicates other issues with your vehicle. If your brakes need to be replaced, your alignment's off, or your suspension needs work, your tires will give subtle clues.

Your owner's manual has guidance on tire rotation and changes. However, because tires can wear unpredictably, it never hurts to call or visit your Acura service center to make sure everything is shipshape.
