Keep your vehicle safe and your tires lasting longer with routine rotations.
How Proper Tire Maintenance Improves Safety
Your vehicle’s tires are its only point of contact with the road. Proper tire maintenance, including regular rotations, ensures even wear, better handling, and improved safety. If you neglect tire rotations, it can result in uneven tread wear, decreased fuel efficiency, and an increased risk of blowouts.
Why You Should Rotate Your Tires Regularly
Regular tire rotations come with several key benefits, including:
- Even Tread Wear: By rotating tires regularly, wear is spread out evenly, increasing tire longevity.
- Better Vehicle Handling: Rotating tires improves handling, giving you better traction for a smoother ride.
- Better Fuel Efficiency: Properly maintained tires reduce rolling resistance, helping you save on fuel costs.
- Cost Savings: Extending the life of your tires means fewer replacements and lower overall maintenance expenses.
How to Know When to Rotate Your Tires
Not sure if it’s time to rotate your tires? Look for these signs:
- Uneven Tire Wear: Uneven wear on your tires is a clear sign that a rotation is needed.
- Car Vibration: Uneven wear can cause noticeable vibrations, especially at higher speeds.
- Car Pulls to One Side: When your car pulls to one side, it’s often a result of uneven tire wear.
As a rule of thumb, consider rotating your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or as specified in your vehicle’s manual.
What Happens During a Tire Rotation
Professional tire rotation services typically include:
- Inspecting tires for damage or uneven wear
- Inflating tires to the proper pressure
- If necessary, the technician will rebalance your tires for optimal performance
- Rotating tires based on the best pattern for your vehicle’s drivetrain
Professional tire rotations help maximize tire lifespan and enhance overall vehicle safety and performance.
