Tire Rotation

Tire Rotations are Part of Routine Tire Maintenance for Greater Mileage

Between you and the irregularities of the pavement are your tires, supporting your vehicle over imperfect roads to get you to your destination. Tires are engineered and tested to reach a specific mileage, but they need your help to get there. This is because each tire wears at a slightly different pace due to its position on your vehicle.

No tire experiences the exact same conditions as its companions. For example, your front tires support the engine while your rear tires don't have the same amount of pressure over them. In addition, your front right tire may hit a pot hole while the left front tire misses it.

This is why tire rotations are an essential part of tire maintenance.

What to Know About Tire Rotations

A tire rotation is a maintenance service where a technician changes the position of your tires. As a result, no tire stays in the same location from start to end.

Check with your tire manufacturer for the recommended rotation schedule for your tires. Keeping track of rotations is important, as tire manufacturers will often check to see if you followed the rotation schedule in the event a tire doesn't reach its advertised mileage. The recommended timeframe for rotations is often around every 6 months. By following your tire rotation schedule, you'll improve tire performance and life.

It's a good idea to get into the practice of tire maintenance so you don't end up at the tire shop sooner than necessary for replacements.
