Reasons for Tire Rotation Service

Your tires are considered one of the most important safety features of your vehicle. They aren’t only the single part of your vehicle that touches the road or surface that you drive on, they also grip the road or surface you drive on to keep your vehicle stable when you drive. Additionally, the treads on your tires are also responsible for gripping the road when you stop. If the tread wears down too far when you stop, your vehicle may go into a skid and that can lead to collisions.

The wear patterns on your tires need to be balanced to equalize the wear on every tire from the front to the rear of your vehicle.  Properly balanced treads on your tires will ensure the vehicle will respond quickly when you steer, when you stop, and when you drive in general. If the tires on one end of the vehicle are overly worn out, you could lose control of your vehicle when you must stop in an emergency.

Another reason to rotate your tires aside from extending their life is to allow all for tires to be replaced all at once instead of one or two at a time. When they are all replaced at once, you know that all four will wear out at the same time as long as you keep rotating them. When you do this, the bonus is that technology changes frequently and if you extend the life of your current tires, when you get all of them replaced, you’ll have tires that may be more advanced than the previous set.

Different vehicles, especially if they are front wheel drive, will have tires that wear more rapidly than others. In a front wheel drive, not only is there more weight on the tires, but there is also more wear because the front end is responsible for steering, turning, accelerating, and braking forces. It is especially important to rotate these from front to rear to keep the wear balanced.

Tire Rotation Frequency

The best practice for tire rotation frequency is outlined in your owner’s manual. How often you rotate your tires tends to be specific to the make, model, and year of your vehicle. The vehicle manufacturer will have a recommended schedule for all the maintenance on your vehicle and we recommend you follow their directives. If you don’t have a manual, a good rule of thumb is to rotate your tires every time you change the oil. For most vehicles that means about every 5,000-7,000 miles.
