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.
The Benefits of Regular Tire Rotations
Regular tire rotations come with several key benefits, including:
- Uniform Tire Wear: Even wear extends the lifespan of your tires by distributing the pressure more evenly.
- Better Vehicle 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.
- Save Money on Tires: Tire rotations extend tire life, reducing the need for replacements and saving you money.
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.
As a rule of thumb, consider rotating your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or as specified in your vehicle’s manual.
