Q: Why is regular tire inspection crucial for the Honda Pilot?
A: Regularly inspecting tires is very important to avoid a flat and detect problems with steering, or suspension. When the tread depth is not good, it will be sensed and replacement should be done. For example, the wheels are not aligned properly if you see cupping. If necessary the valve core should be tightened while punctures are repaired. Brake fluid leaks can be found on the inboard side of each tire by inspection. Tire pressure is a major determinant of tire life span, mileage, and quality of ride and it should be checked up by a reliable gauge that shows the correct reading. On a cold day, compare this to what is indicated on the tire placard on your left door jamb (tire sidewall).
Q: What are the procedures for rotating tires and checking brakes on the Honda Pilot?
A: Rotate tires at set intervals or if uneven wear is noticed. Check brakes when tires are removed. Radial tires need a specific rotation pattern. Some models may have directional tires, which have arrows on the sidewall for rotation direction. Don't apply the parking brake when raising the vehicle and changing a tire. Block the tires to prevent rolling. Ideally, raise the entire vehicle at once using a hoist or jackstands under the frame rails. After rotation, adjust tire pressures and check lug nut tightness, rechecking after 25 miles.
