Regular maintenance is essential for your vehicle. It ensures that you get the most value from your car, truck, or SUV, and helps your vehicle last for years and years. One of the most important, affordable, and often-overlooked maintenance tasks is tire rotations. These help ensure your vehicle rides smoother, lasts longer, and gets better gas mileage.
What is a Tire Rotation?
During a tire rotation, your technician will remove all four tires from the vehicle and move them from one wheel to another, rotating them in a set pattern. When the rotation is completed, each tire will have been moved to a new wheel. The technicians will use a set pattern, usually specified in the vehicle’s manual, so that each tire is moved to a new wheel every time, eventually cycling through to the original wheel after four rotations.
Why Are Tire Rotations Important?
Tire rotations are important for the longevity of your car, and well as the long-term quality of your suspension. Over the course of thousands of miles, tire tread will wear down unevenly. Generally, the outside edges of the front tires will wear down faster, but the ride and balance of your vehicle can effect tire wear in many different ways. Because of this, having your tires rotated ensures that they wear down evenly, meaning you won’t have to buy new tires quite as often. Also, because uneven tread can effect gas mileage, having regular rotations can improve your fuel-economy, once again helping you save.
When Do I Need a Rotation?
Uneven wear, pulling in the vehicle’s steering, and poor handling can all be signs that you need a tire rotation (especially uneven wear). But you should have your tires rotated before they get to this point. If a tire in severely worn in one spot, you may have to purchase a new set of tires, as it may be unsafe to keep using them. Generally speaking, you should have your tires rotated every other oil change. This will ensure that they are rotated between 6 to 8 thousand miles, and will help you stay on top of your vehicle’s regular maintenance. It’s a smart, affordable way to help your vehicle last for years and years.
