Even if you purchase Mazda tires from our Mazda parts center, you might not think much about them after they’re installed. Similarly, your wheels might not concern you too much. However, if you have a problem with your tires or wheels, you may regret not thinking more about them. Luckily, the Brown and Wood Mazda team prepared a list of services that can help you avoid issues with your tires or wheels.
Pressure Check
One bit of essential maintenance is easy to address at home or on the road: check and maintain your tire pressure frequently. It’s essential during seasonal changes and helps preserve your vehicle’s safety, performance, and fuel economy.
Tire Rotations
Your tires experience wear over their service life but rarely wear out evenly. That’s why we suggest regular tire maintenance at a Greenville, NC, Mazda service center. The general rule of thumb is to rotate your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles to help them wear evenly and last longer.
Wheel Balancing
Tire or wheel balancing corrects the uneven distribution of weight in the wheels. If left unchecked for too long, that uneven distribution can cause problems, such as excessive tire wear and damage to the suspension. In general, it is advisable to request an alignment and wheel balancing during the same service appointment.
Wheel Alignment
If your car is hard to steer or refuses to travel in a straight line without active input, your wheel or tire alignment might be off. A wheel alignment adjusts the suspension to prevent your vehicle from veering and vibrating when you’re driving. Most cars will need an alignment every six to 12 months, but you may need one sooner if you hit a pothole or speed bump too hard.
