Tire Rotation

WHY IS TIRE ROTATION IMPORTANT?

There are several reasons why tire rotation is an important part of your standard tire care. First, by regularly rotating your tires, wear is spread evenly across all four tires, and their tread life is maximized. That’s because each specific position on your vehicle requires a different give from each tire and can lead to more, or less, wear on the tire. It is especially important to rotate new tires by 5,000 miles because deep, fresh tire tread is more susceptible to uneven wear. Secondly, even tread wear keeps the tread depth on your tires the same all around, which can help keep traction and handling consistent across all four tires. This will improve cornering and braking performance and keep your vehicle safer for driving overall. Finally, if your vehicle has all-wheel-drive, evenly worn tires lower the stresses on the drive-train, reducing wear on expensive drive components.
