Tire Care Tips in Augusta, GA
Reliability is one of the most important facets of vehicle ownership. While the Honda brand is known for embodying it, drivers must also take an active role in keeping their car ready to go by following an upkeep routine for various parts of their car. Members of our Service Department at Gerald Jones Honda recommend you take part in the following tire care tips to keep them in good shape!
Spare Tire
If you’re trying to get to Augusta Regional Airport in time for your flight, then you can’t afford long delays brought on by a flat tire. Having a well-conditioned spare tire is critical to keeping you prepared for emergencies. That involves checking the tire pressure and condition of your car’s spare tire. Consult your car’s Owner’s Manual to bring it up to the required rating to serve your needs. If the time comes and you must utilize this item in favor of one of the tires currently on your Honda model, then make sure you don’t make it a permanent fixture. In fact, most spare tires, those that are not full-sized, are only designed to travel about 50 miles throughout their lifespan. Additionally, you should not exceed speeds of 50 MPH while using it.
Inspecting Your Tires at Home
As the owner of a Honda model, you have the ability to check the condition of the tires on your vehicle to ensure they’re ready for use on I-520. The first way to examine those valued parts is by using a pressure gauge to ensure that they have the correct PSI rating. If you ride on underinflated tires, they will wear out quicker and be more susceptible to failure. You may also increase your safety inside your Honda Accord, CR-V, or Ridgeline by checking the tread depth. The easiest way to do this is by using a tread gauge, but you can also flip a penny upside down and see if the remaining rubber shows the top of President Lincoln’s head. If so, then you should get a new set. Of course, you should also visually inspect the tires for bulges or dry rotting before heading out on a journey. If you’re in need of a new set of tires, you can start the replacement process by sourcing them from our Honda Tire Center.
Maximizing Tire Lifespan
Drivers can also extend the lifespan of their tires in a variety of ways, allowing them to get the most out of their purchase. For one thing, you should engage in regular tire rotations to ensure that all four of them wear down at the same time. The same concept applies to getting a wheel alignment as needed. It’s also helpful if you pay close attention to the roads you ride down, keeping an eye out for potholes and other debris in the streets and parking lots. Doing so will cut down on the risk of compromising the integrity of your Honda’s tires. Although it may take some patience, be certain to accelerate and brake at an even pace rather than pressing down hard on the gas pedal or coming to a sudden stop. These simple steps can keep your car rolling along the road with the same set of tires for a longer period. If you’re in need of an inspection or replacement for these pieces, you can always book a time slot with our Service Center to get help!
How Long Are Tires Supposed to Last?
- Depending on your driving habits and the type of vehicle you operate, tires can last between 20,000 and 50,000 miles.

Great experience.
Wonderful service for repairs!
“ Wonderful service for repairs! Quick, easy to set appointment, fast delivery with appointment, friendly staff right in the door, honest. I like that they only care about safety with the vehicles and not trying to roll anyone over for expensive repairs. They offered a lady in the waiting room next to me a car for the weekend since her vehicle needed extensive work. Great job all that work there. ”

William Walker did an awesome job showing me different CRV’s

Thank you Mr. Elam and the Honda service team.

GREAT customer service!!
“ GREAT customer service!! Awesome staff! No long waits & I highly recommended everyone to join the Honda experience!! ”
Gerald Jones Honda will be my first stop.
“ The staff was wonderful and very understanding of my situation. They asked what I needed or preferred and found the vehicle I desired with the payments under what I thought they would be. They did not push me or try to oversale like other dealerships I have been to. Next time I am in the market for another car, Gerald Jones Honda will be my first stop. ”
They were not pushy!
“ We went to the lot at what we thought was " after hours" because we did not want to be "bothered with salespeople" as we looked initially. We still encountered salespeople but to our surprise when we said we would like to just look on our own and later when we got serious at buying, they were not pushy! This was very important to us. They were all very helpful, knowledgeable and when they found that they did not have the exact car I wanted on the lot, they went in search of one for me. The deal was awesome. I highly recommend Gerald Jones Honda. ”
They helped me with my flat tire after hours!
“ I had a huge issue with my flat tire and they helped me to fix it on Saturday evening!! They’re very helpful and kind. The general manager was very supportive, polite and kind. I really suggest and approve this place and their staff! ”
Great experience finding our dream cars

Can't say enough good things about this shop.

Will definitely purchase another car here again.
“ Bought a Honda Civic Sports Touring from Kendall. Really awesome guy that cut us a great deal and even stayed a bit after closing to show us every feature of our newly bought car. Every staff member there was respectable and personable, unlike another unnamed car dealership a few miles down Washington Rd. Will definitely purchase another car here again. ”
In and out fast with good service.
“ In and out fast with good service. I was out of town on a road trip with a flat tire. Very happy with the service, thank you for the help. ”
My first Honda came from Gerald Jones Honda in 1985.
“ My first Honda came from Gerald Jones Honda in 1985. I moved away not long after that, purchased several cars over the last 33 years, returned “home” last year and just bought my 5th Honda at Gerald Jones Honda! I can honestly say this was one of the best car buying experiences I have had over the years. Cam Griffin brought several cars to me at work to allow me to try different trim levels on my own. He made me laugh throughout the process and made it an awesome purchasing experience. I’m glad to have renewed my relationship with the great people at Gerald Jones Honda and look forward to many years of Honda care with them. ”
What a different experience
“ Was very apprehensive about buying a car in general due to prior bad experience. What a different experience this time. Will go back to Gerald Jones Honda again. Everyone was very helpful and friendly every step of the way. ”
Allen Baer was great
“ Our car buying experience with Gerald Jones Honda and particularly Allen Baer was great today. We’ve purchased many cars with Allen and would strongly recommend him to anyone! He’s very patient and thorough - as an example - he took notice of the temp setting in my old car and made sure to set it to the same temp in the new car before gettin g in it to drive off the lot. Allen took time to connect on a personal level - asking about family members and work, making it feel like we were doing business with a friend. The sales manager Monty was also instrumental in making this experience a good one. We hope to continue to do business with Gerald Jones ”
“ Great experience. Was running late so rep worked around and got me in within short period. Diagnosis was found quickly, part was ordered, and I was able to get out in timely fashion. Part was ordered, was available and is on its way from Atlanta. Rich Wallace. ”
