Most Bowie area Honda vehicle owners know the care and upkeep of their car, truck, SUV, or crossover are vital for its dependability and longevity. No one likes to have a breakdown in a vehicle, especially because it can leave drivers and passengers in an unsafe situation and lead to hours of wasted time. That is why keeping up with the maintenance of vehicle parts that can readily cause unexpected breakdowns is essential.
Vehicle Breakdowns and Tires
One of the most common reasons vehicle owners have a breakdown is due to flat tires. This includes getting a sudden flat, blow-out, or significant air leak. Each scenario can be dangerous to you, as the driver, and your property, the car. That is why the care and upkeep of your tires are essential.
Common Causes of Tire Damage
There are many causes of tire damage on a vehicle. One of the biggest concerns is road and roadway hazards around Glen Burnie and the surrounding areas. These are often unexpected and arise when something in the road causes damage to tires while driving. This includes damage caused by potholes and road construction, frequently the primary culprits of tire damage, especially in the spring.
Potholes and Road Construction Risks
Spring is notorious for pothole problems and the beginning of road construction season near Laurel, Maryland. Driving over potholes regularly or through road construction areas can be hazardous to your tires and vehicle. This type of continuous jolting to the vehicle suspension and alignment causes damage. That means that in addition to additional wear and tear to tires from the asphalt debris, uneven road patterns, shards, and ruts, tires can begin to take a beating from problems with the wheel alignment system.
Tire and Safety Risks from Having An Unbalanced Wheel Alignment
While front-end and all-wheel alignment services may seem to be a minor issue, the reality is that wheel alignment affects tire tread and road handling safety. Tires that are out of alignment can cause your model to pull to the left or right, putting extra tension on the steering of the vehicle. This can be hazardous, especially if the tire blows out on a highway.
Additionally, when a front end is out of alignment, tires wear unevenly, which can cause bubbles and can expose the steel belted inner wall of tires as it wears thin.
Alignments are an easy maintenance task and can usually be completed while customers wait in our lounge at Honda of Annapolis. A front-end alignment should be sufficient to repair any uneven pull on the steering for front-end or rear-wheel-driven vehicles. For vehicles that are all-wheel drive, all four tires need to be aligned at the same time to ensure safe steering.
