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. By rotating your tires regularly, you ensure even wear, optimal handling, and greater safety. Failing to maintain your tires can cause uneven wear, higher fuel consumption, and a higher chance of blowouts.
The Benefits of Regular Tire Rotations
Rotating your tires at recommended intervals provides several advantages:
- Uniform Tire Wear: Even wear extends the lifespan of your tires by distributing the pressure more evenly.
- Smoother Handling: With even wear, handling improves, providing better traction and a safer drive.
- Enhanced Fuel Efficiency: Tires in good condition improve fuel efficiency by reducing rolling resistance.
- Save Money on Tires: With regular tire rotations, you’ll save money by delaying the need for replacements.
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.
- Vibration While Driving: Vibrations at higher speeds are often caused by uneven tire wear.
- Pulling to One Side: A car that pulls to one side could be an indication of uneven tire wear.
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
When you get a tire rotation, expect the following services:
- Inspecting tires for damage or uneven wear
- Adjusting tire pressure to recommended levels
- Rebalancing tires if needed
- Rotating tires based on the best pattern for your vehicle’s drivetrain
By rotating your tires professionally, you’ll maximize their lifespan and ensure safe vehicle performance.
