  Q: How Should I Care for My Honda Fit's Tires and Wheels?

  A: All vehicles described come with metric-sized steel-belted radial tires. Using other sizes or types might alter the vehicle's ride and handling. It's crucial not to mix tire types, like radials with bias-belted, since this can greatly impair handling. Ideally, replace tires in axle pairs. If only changing one tire, ensure it matches the size, structure, and tread of the other. Tire pressure significantly influences handling and wear, so check pressures monthly or before lengthy trips. Wheels that are bent, dented, leaky, have deformed bolt holes, excessive rust, lack vertical symmetry, or can't maintain tight lug nuts must be replaced. Welding or peening methods are not advised for wheel repairs. Balancing tires and wheels is vital for optimal handling, braking, and vehicle performance. Imbalanced wheels can negatively impact handling, ride experience, and tire longevity. Always balance a tire and wheel post-installation, ensuring it's done by a well-equipped shop.
