What Is A Tire Rotation?
Tire rotation involves changing your tires’ position to extend their lifespan. There are various rotation patterns, depending on the type of tire and whether your vehicle is front-, rear-, all- or four-wheel drive. For front-wheel drive vehicles, for instance, the front tires are rotated directly back and the back tires are crossed to the front.
Benefits of Rotating Tires Regularly
There are numerous perks to regular tire rotations, including the following:
- More even tire wear
Because your vehicle’s front tires wear differently than its back tires, rotating them encourages more consistent wear.
- Smoother drive
Balanced tires help your vehicle achieve peak performance, reducing vibration/noise and promoting a smoother, more enjoyable ride.
- Extended tire life
When tires wear more evenly, they last longer. Tire rotations are a quick, easy way to lengthen tires’ lifespan and save money.
- Better handling
From braking to steering, rotated tires give drivers better control behind the wheel.
- Increased gas mileage
Regular rotations reduce friction and increase traction so that your vehicle does not have to work as hard. This means that it doesn’t use as much gas, saving you money at the pump!
How Often You Should Rotate Your Tires
Check your owner’s manual to find out how often you should rotate your tires. Most manufacturers recommend rotations every 5,000 miles. Conveniently, this often coincides with routine oil changes! Your service appointment is also a great time to get your tires’ pressure and tread checked to ensure they are still in good condition.
