Berglund Mazda is the team you can trust for essential information and care, which is why we're answering your pressing questions about tire service. Here are some of the key points to know about caring for your tires.

How Do I Care for Tires?

Your tires are your first line of defense on the road, which is why it's important to care for them properly. Check the tire pressure often, at least once a month or before a long drive, inspect the tread using the quarter test, and take care when driving on uneven road surfaces. You'll also want to bring your vehicle down to our Salem, VA, Mazda dealership regularly for service support and inspections that will give you added peace of mind on every drive.

How Often Should I Rotate My Tires?

Regular tire rotations help to ensure that the tires on your vehicle are wearing down evenly. Tire rotations can also inform you if there are any lingering issues with your alignment or suspension that need to be addressed. Typically, Mazda tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. For most Mazda models, we recommend following the forward cross pattern for your rotation: moving the front tires straight back, and the rear tires to the opposite sides on the front.

Why Do I Need to Monitor Tire Tread?

The tread on your tires helps to give your vehicle traction on slippery wet or icy roads. Over time, the tread begins to wear down, and the vehicle can no longer grip the road surface properly. When you are able to maintain proper tread depth by checking at home and scheduling regular Mazda service, you reduce the risk of accidents and improve driver control.
