Keep your vehicle safe and your tires lasting longer with routine rotations.
How Proper Tire Maintenance Improves Safety
Tires are the only part of your car that touches the road, making their maintenance crucial. Routine tire rotations and maintenance promote even wear, enhance handling, and improve safety. Failing to maintain your tires can cause uneven wear, higher fuel consumption, and a higher chance of blowouts.
The Benefits of Regular Tire Rotations
Rotating your tires at recommended intervals provides several advantages:
- Even Tread Wear: Even wear extends the lifespan of your tires by distributing the pressure more evenly.
- Smoother Handling: Rotating tires improves handling, giving you better traction for a smoother ride.
- Increased Fuel Economy: Properly maintained tires reduce rolling resistance, helping you save on fuel costs.
- Save Money on Tires: With regular tire rotations, you’ll save money by delaying the need for replacements.
Indicators It’s Time for a Tire Rotation
Wondering when to rotate your tires? Here are some indicators to watch for:
- Uneven Tire Wear: If one side of your tire looks more worn than the other, it’s time for a rotation.
- Vibration While Driving: Vibrations at higher speeds are often caused by uneven tire wear.
- 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.
