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. 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:
- Balanced Tread 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.
- Better Fuel Efficiency: Tires in good condition improve fuel efficiency by reducing rolling resistance.
- Lower Tire Replacement Costs: Extending the life of your tires means fewer replacements and lower overall maintenance expenses.
Signs Your Tires Need Rotation
If you're unsure whether it's time for a tire rotation, look for these signs:
- Uneven Tire Wear: When you notice uneven wear across the tread, a rotation is due.
- Vibrations When Driving: Vibrations at higher speeds are often caused by uneven tire wear.
- Car Pulls to One Side: When your car pulls to one side, it’s often a result of uneven tire wear.
Generally, it’s recommended to rotate your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, or follow the guidelines in your car’s manual.
