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.
Why You Should Rotate Your Tires Regularly
Routine tire rotations offer multiple benefits.
- Balanced Tread Wear: By rotating tires regularly, wear is spread out evenly, increasing tire longevity.
- Better Vehicle Handling: Balanced wear improves traction, ensuring smoother and safer driving.
- Increased Fuel Economy: Tires in good condition improve fuel efficiency by reducing rolling resistance.
- Cost Savings: Extending the life of your tires means fewer replacements and lower overall maintenance expenses.
Indicators It’s Time for a Tire Rotation
Wondering when to rotate your tires? Here are some indicators to watch for:
- Uneven Tread Wear: Uneven wear on your tires is a clear sign that a rotation is needed.
- Vibration While Driving: Uneven wear can cause noticeable vibrations, especially at higher speeds.
- Car Pulls to One Side: A car that pulls to one side could be an indication of uneven tire wear.
As a rule of thumb, consider rotating your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or as specified in your vehicle’s manual.
