How Do You Maintain The Tires On Your Car?
If you keep up with regularly scheduled Volkswagen maintenance at a factory-authorized service center like ours, tire maintenance is included. This means regularly rotating the tires, so they wear as evenly as possible. We'll also make sure they stay perfectly balanced, so you'll not only enjoy a more comfortable ride, but you'll also avoid unbalanced tires being damaged. Another important part of maintaining your tires is to keep the correct air pressure in them.
We'll check your tire pressure when your vehicle is in for any maintenance or service. And, if the tire pressure gets too low between visits, modern cars are now equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system that will alert you to a low tire. If you find that a tire has a hard time keeping pressure, you should probably swing by and let one of our technicians look at it. There's a good chance something is wrong with the tire.
Did you know that improperly aligned tires are one of the most common reasons that people must replace tires before otherwise necessary? Whether you notice a pull at the steering wheel or not, we strongly recommend getting the alignment on your Volkswagen checked at least once a year. This way, you'll most likely avoid expensive tire damage caused by driving on wheels that aren't aligned.
How Often Should You Get Tire Maintenance
For most modern VW models, we recommend having your tires rotated every time you come in for an oil change. When we rotate the tires, we'll also check to make sure they're perfectly balanced and we'll make sure the air pressure is correct. As for alignment, once per year should be sufficient, but we recommend getting that checked anytime you hit a big pothole, curb, or any other major jolt to the wheels.
