2020 Honda Ridgeline Tires in Avon, IN | Hare Honda

Many owners have tire service performed alongside an oil change or at each service visit so wear can be checked regularly. The manufacturer’s schedule is the reference that settles the interval for this vehicle. Earlier inspection is appropriate if wear or vibration appears.

• Rotation is performed for all four tires.
• The drivetrain and tires fitted determine the movement pattern.
• Uneven wear should be inspected rather than ignored.

The inspection covers all four tires and compares their condition. Booking also creates an opportunity to identify uneven wear, vibration, or a tread-depth indicator level with the tread. Any replacement recommendation depends on the tires and their condition.

• Tread depth is measured on all four tires.
• Rotation follows the manufacturer-specified pattern for the drivetrain.
• Pressure is set to the placard specification on the vehicle.

The appropriate pattern is not the same for every tire configuration. Directional tread and staggered fitments can change which tire positions are suitable. A technician should inspect the tires actually fitted before selecting the pattern that follows the manufacturer’s instructions.

• All four tires should be included in the service.
• Directional tread can limit how a tire moves between positions.
• Staggered fitments can change the available rotation options.

An all-wheel-drive system asks the tires to work together, so a mismatched tread depth can load the driveline. The correct decision depends on an inspection of each tire and the vehicle’s service history. Replacement recommendations should account for the condition and wear of the tires actually fitted.

• Compare tread depth across all four tires.
• Inspect for uneven wear or visible damage.
• Consider the vehicle’s service history before replacing a partial set.

These signs should be confirmed through an inspection of all four tires. Tread depth and the condition of the tire determine whether replacement is appropriate. On this all-wheel-drive vehicle, comparing the tires as a set is especially important.

• Look for uneven wear across the tread.
• Pay attention to vibration at highway speed.
• Check the moulded tread-depth indicator or perform a penny test.

The service visit includes tread depth measurement on all four tires, rotation as appropriate for the drivetrain and tires fitted, pressure adjustment, and a tire pressure monitoring system reset.
