Ensure your tires last longer and your vehicle stays safe with regular rotations.
How Proper Tire Maintenance Improves Safety
Your vehicle’s tires are its only point of contact with the road. Routine tire rotations and maintenance promote even wear, enhance handling, and improve safety. If you neglect tire rotations, it can result in uneven tread wear, decreased fuel efficiency, and an increased risk of blowouts.
The Benefits of Regular Tire Rotations
Rotating your tires at recommended intervals provides several advantages:
- Balanced Tread Wear: Even wear extends the lifespan of your tires by distributing the pressure more evenly.
- Improved Handling: With even wear, handling improves, providing better traction and a safer drive.
- Increased Fuel Economy: Tires in good condition improve fuel efficiency by reducing rolling resistance.
- Save Money on Tires: Extending the life of your tires means fewer replacements and lower overall maintenance expenses.
How to Know When to Rotate Your Tires
Not sure if it’s time to rotate your tires? Look for these signs:
- Uneven Tread Wear: Uneven wear on your tires is a clear sign that a rotation is needed.
- Vibrations When Driving: Vibrations at higher speeds are often caused by uneven tire wear.
- Car Pulls to One Side: When your car pulls to one side, it’s often a result 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.
