TIRE ROTATION
Extend The Life Of Your Tires With Regular Rotation
As the only part of your car or truck that touches the road, the health of your tires is not something you should take for granted. Rotating your tires is vital for helping your tires maximize their life. Some of the benefits of regular tire rotation include:
- Improves the performance of your tires
- Decreases noise and vibration caused by unevenly-worn tires
- Improves your vehicle’s gas mileage
- Provides a safe, comfortable, and smoother ride
- You can save money, and avoid expensive mechanical repairs
As tires are used, it is normal for the tread to gradually wear unevenly. If one or more of your tires becomes bald before the others, it can create unsafe driving conditions. Worn tires cause serious problems with braking, control, as well as drivability. For example, you may lose control of your car or truck, when tires can’t grip the road. Remember, tire tread depth is very important, especially when roads are wet or snowy. Uneven tread wear and worn tires can cause:
- Blowouts (A punctured tire can cause a sudden blowout)
- Air leakage and loss of air pressure
- Excessive car vibration at high and low speeds
- Unusual tire noise
- Overheating of tire
- A decreased performance
- Hydroplaning (it refers to the sliding of tires across a wet road surface. This phenomenon causes the tire to lose traction, which might lead to loss of steering, braking, and power control)
Know More: Tire Rotation Process And Frequency
When rotating tires, each tire and wheel is removed from your car or truck and moved to a different position (e.g. transferring them from front to back or a blend of both), to make sure that all tires last longer and wear evenly.
Depending on the vehicle type and driving habits, tire rotation may be recommended every 6,000 – 8,000 miles or at least every 6 months. It is best to check your owner’s manual and follow the manufacturer’s recommended tire rotation interval.
What Happens During And After Tire Rotation?
During tire rotation, our experienced mechanics assess the overall quality and safety of tires, as well as, the tire tread. Next, tires are rotated in alternating patterns. There are tire rotation patterns that should be followed, based on various factors such as the vehicle type (4-wheel, front-wheel, or all-wheel drive, etc.), and the design of the tires (directional or non-directional). We will also inspect for effective inflation, and then tighten up lug nuts.
Rotating the tires is simply a means of evening out the wear patterns; after a tire rotation, you may notice a slightly noisier or stiffer ride. However, if the issues don’t go away quickly it might be the irregular wear that has gone on too long. If this is the case, don’t hesitate to bring your car or truck back to our repair shop. We will assess the issue for a possible tire replacement.
