Keep your vehicle safe and your tires lasting longer with routine rotations.
The Importance of Tire Maintenance
The tires are the sole point of contact between your vehicle and the road. Routine tire rotations and maintenance promote even wear, enhance handling, and improve safety. Failing to maintain your tires can cause uneven wear, higher fuel consumption, and a higher chance of blowouts.
Why You Should Rotate Your Tires Regularly
Rotating your tires at recommended intervals provides several advantages:
- Uniform Tire Wear: By rotating tires regularly, wear is spread out evenly, increasing tire longevity.
- Improved Handling: Rotating tires improves handling, giving you better traction for a smoother ride.
- Increased Fuel Economy: Tires in good condition improve fuel efficiency by reducing rolling resistance.
- Lower Tire Replacement Costs: Extending the life of your tires means fewer replacements and lower overall maintenance expenses.
How to Know When to Rotate Your Tires
If you're unsure whether it's time for a tire rotation, look for these signs:
- Uneven Tread Wear: When you notice uneven wear across the tread, a rotation is due.
- Car Vibration: Uneven wear can cause noticeable vibrations, especially at higher speeds.
- Car Pulls to One Side: If your vehicle veers slightly in one direction, uneven tire wear might be the culprit.
For most vehicles, rotating tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or per the manufacturer’s recommendations is ideal.
What Happens During a Tire Rotation
Professional tire rotation services typically include:
- Checking for tire damage or uneven wear
- Adjusting tire pressure to recommended levels
- If necessary, the technician will rebalance your tires for optimal performance
- Your tires will be rotated according to the most suitable pattern for your vehicle’s drivetrain
By rotating your tires professionally, you’ll maximize their lifespan and ensure safe vehicle performance.
