Tire rotations are an essential part of routine vehicle maintenance that help extend the life of your tires and keep your car running smoothly. A tire rotation involves moving the tires to different positions on the vehicle to promote even tread wear. Over time, the front tires tend to wear more quickly than the rear ones, especially on front-wheel drive vehicles. Regularly rotating your tires helps them wear evenly for longer tread life. That’s why we invite you to schedule a service appointment online or stop by our service center to get your tires rotated today.
Why Should You Get Your Tires Rotated?
There are several key benefits to getting your tires rotated at the recommended intervals, typically every 5,000 to 8,000 miles:
- Even tread wear to help your tires last longer
- Better traction and handling for a safer ride
- Improved gas mileage as tires wear evenly
- A smoother and quieter ride from evenly worn tires
During a tire rotation service, a technician will also typically check the tire pressure, inspect the tread depth, and look for any signs of damage or uneven wear. Maintaining proper tire pressure is important for safety, handling, and fuel efficiency. Healthy tread depth is critical for traction, especially in wet or snowy conditions.
Tire Rotation Patterns
The tire rotation pattern depends on factors like your vehicle's drivetrain (front-, rear-, or all-wheel drive), tire size, and whether your tires are directional or non-directional. A common rotation pattern is to move the front tires straight back and crisscross the rear tires. Some vehicles may require a different pattern. Refer to your owner's manual or ask a service advisor at your dealership for the recommended tire rotation pattern for your specific vehicle.
