Tire maintenance is essential to ensure your vehicle’s safety and optimal performance on the road – and one of the best ways to take care of your tires is to rotate them regularly. But why is tire rotation so important? What are the advantages of rotating your tires, and how often should you go for tire rotation services? Find the answers to all these questions and more in this guide by our team at Empire Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram.
When you accelerate, brake, and turn corners in Lowville, NY, friction is generated between your tires and the road surface, causing wear and tear. However, due to uneven road conditions, some tires wear out more quickly than others. Uneven tire wear can reduce your car’s traction and handling and shorten your tire lifespan. That’s why it is good to rotate your tires periodically to make them last longer.
Tire rotation is an important maintenance task for your vehicle. Here are a few reasons why you should have your tires rotated regularly.
Even tire wear: All four tires don’t wear evenly. The front or rear tires tend to wear out faster, depending on the drivetrain. This can cause the car to pull to one side while driving. Regular tire rotations will ensure all tires wear evenly and extend their lifespan.
Better traction and handling:Â Tire rotation spreads wear across all tires, ensuring uniform traction and handling when turning corners and promoting your safety on the road.
Improved gas mileage: When the tires are not evenly worn, your car will have to work harder than usual to maintain traction on the road, consuming more fuel. Tire rotation prevents uneven tire wear, allowing you to get the most miles out of every gallon.Â
Cost Savings. Regular tire rotations will ensure your tires wear at the same rate. So, you won’t have to replace them prematurely, saving you money down the road.
The position of your tires is a crucial factor to consider during a tire rotation.
For FWD tires: You can move the front tires to the back position on either side of the car. But when moving the back tires to the front, change the position of the left and right tires.
For RWD tires: You can move the rear tires to the front position on either side of the vehicle. But when moving the front tires to the back, swap the position of the left and right tires.
How Often Should You Rotate Your Tires?
The ideal tire rotation intervals for your vehicle will depend on how much you drive, the conditions you drive in, and the current state of wear on your tires. Generally, it’s recommended to rotate your tires every 5000-8000 miles or every six months.
