When your tires wear out, the low tread means there is less traction between your tires and the road, which can make it dangerous for you to drive. Old tires are also at a higher risk of blowouts if you encounter a pothole, glass, or even a nail in the road. When you need new tires, you should visit your Acura dealership.
Does Your Acura Need New Tires?
The tread wear on your tires is usually the most obvious sign that you need a replacement set. Your tires have a built-in tread wear indicator that will let you know the tread is too low on your tires. You can either look for this tread wear indicator or you can do a quick penny test if you have owned your tires for a few years. Your mechanic may recommend replacement tires during your routine tire rotation service.
You may also need to purchase replacement tires if there is visible damage to the sidewall of the tire, such as cracks or bulges. Consistently low tire pressure, even when you air up the tires frequently, also means you need a replacement set.
Finding the Right Tires
When you purchase tires for your vehicle, you must pay attention to size. Your Acura owner’s manual will have information about the best size and type of tires for your model and specific trim. If your Acura is engineered for speed, then performance tires will be recommended, even in the winter if you choose to winterize your vehicle for New Jersey snow.
To find the right tires yourself, you can visit your dealership website and use the tire finder tool. Or you can visit your dealership and ask the Acura experts in the service department to find the best tires for your repair or replacement.
What Are the Benefits of Buying Tires From Your Acura Dealership?
When you buy tires at the dealership, you will likely be able to find a good deal for a full set. These deals can include rebates and discounts when you meet the qualifications of the promotional sale. Additionally, buying tires at your dealership makes the installation of the tires convenient since the dealership mechanics can mount and balance your tires on the same day.
Your dealership may also offer a limited warranty on your tires. For example, the Tire Road Hazard Protection warranty lasts for 24 months. This free limited warranty will replace, reimburse, or repair your tires if you encounter a covered road hazard, such as nails and potholes. Under this warranty, you will also get the benefit of roadside assistance.
To avoid trouble on the road, you should replace your tires as soon as you notice the tread is low. Call Open Road Acura of Wayne to ask about buying a replacement set of tires today.
