Your vehicle’s tires will begin to wear over time. Routine tire rotation will help ensure that your vehicle’s tires wear correctly throughout the entire time you own them. Unbalanced tires will decrease the effectiveness of the performance of your tires. This can create an unsafe driving condition and tire rotation is recommended to correct this. A tire rotation service will help your vehicle stay balanced and performing at optimum efficiency. The result of rotating your tires is better handling and uniform tread wear pattern. This increases the life of the tire’s tread. An improvement in the handling can be expected after service as well. Typically, vehicle manufacturers recommend a tire rotation every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. This can vary from vehicle to vehicle and it is best to consult your owners manual for your car to find out the recommended schedule for this service.
Tread on tires wears out evenly when routine tire rotations are performed. Less frequent tire changes are needed over your vehicle’s lifetime when they are rotated on schedule. Smoother operation of your vehicle is one result that comes with even tire wear. Alignment problems from neglecting to rotate tires can create unusual wear patterns. Vibrations, unusual noises, and poor handling can be resolved with proper tire rotation. Overall, this simple service can save money later on.
Wandering or pulling to one side, which can make your vehicle harder to steer, are signs you have tread and balancing issues. When maneuvering around curves, the handling is decreased because the tires are not correctly balanced. This tends to make steering your vehicle difficult and even unsafe. In the event of an emergency, your vehicle can be harder to control. Especially in adverse driving conditions like wet roads or ice, it can be dangerous to drive. Uneven wear issues can be resolved by replacing your tires, but that can get expensive and impractical. Routine maintenance is cost-effective and is the easiest solution in the long run.
