Keep your vehicle safe and your tires lasting longer with routine rotations.
How Proper Tire Maintenance Improves Safety
Tires are the only part of your car that touches the road, making their maintenance crucial. 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.
Advantages of Timely Tire Rotations
Routine tire rotations offer multiple benefits.
- Balanced Tread Wear: By rotating tires regularly, wear is spread out evenly, increasing tire longevity.
- Improved Handling: Balanced wear improves traction, ensuring smoother and safer driving.
- Increased Fuel Economy: 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:
- Irregular Tread Wear: When you notice uneven wear across the tread, a rotation is due.
- Vibrations When Driving: If your car vibrates while driving, especially at higher speeds, it could be due to uneven tire wear.
- Pulling to One Side: If your vehicle veers slightly in one direction, uneven tire wear might be the culprit.
Generally, it’s recommended to rotate your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, or follow the guidelines in your car’s manual.
