The Reason Tires Should Be Rotated

Tire rotation refers to moving the tires to different positions on your car, and this is because each position on your vehicle has a unique wear pattern that may be more or less than the other positions. For example, when you turn, the outer tires travel further and thus take more wear than the inner tires, and many different variables like this cause each tire to have a distinct wear pattern. To prevent one tire from taking the most wear, we rotate your tires to distribute that wear.

The Benefits of Tire Rotation

When you rotate your tires, you allow different tires to take different wear patterns. After four rotations, all of your tires will have taken all four positions of wear, and thus all the tires will take an average amount of wear instead of one tire taking the most or least. This prevents one tire from giving out before the others and saves you from flats and blowouts when you least expect them. It also saves you money as you aren’t buying new tires too often.

When to Get a Tire Rotation

Tire rotation is best done every 6,000 miles, or about every two oil changes, to ensure that the tires don’t take too much of one specific wear pattern. This scheduler will keep your tires intact longer and allow you to rest easy, knowing your tires aren’t going to give out on you due to wear. If you don’t know when the last one was, the best time to get a tire rotation is the present, as you could be driving on worn tires already.
