Why Tire Rotation is Important
Why Tire Rotation is Important
By Temecula Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM
Keeping up with regular tire rotations is beneficial for many reasons. Tire rotation can preserve balanced handling and help you maintain traction, which is important on slick or difficult roadways. Most tire manufacturers advise that drivers rotate their tires often so that their warranties stay valid. Rotating your tires also helps them wear evenly by allowing each of your tires to work in each one of the four positions. You'll also promote wear across the tire tread pattern, helping your tires last longer. When you purchase your tires here at Temecula Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM, you are assured that an expert is doing it, so you are getting the best service. Below we have compiled a few reasons why rotating your tires are important.
How often should you rotate your tires?
It's recommended that you get your tires rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles, even if there are no signs of wear and tear. A good tire rotation will happen while your vehicle is off the ground, so getting it done while getting an oil change makes the most sense. While your vehicle is on the lift, we also recommend having your tires inspected for any signs of uneven wear or damage. You also want to make sure your tire pressure and overall tread depth are good and have any stones or debris removed as well.
What are some tire facts?
The tires on the front of your axle will need to accomplish different tasks than the tires on the rear axle. Meanwhile, tires on a front-wheel-drive vehicle will need to respond differently than those on a rear-wheel-drive vehicle. Tires on a performance vehicle will also wear more rapidly than those on a family sedan. All four tires will wear evenly in a perfect world, allowing them to respond equally well during driver input. When your tires wear out together, you can replace them with an entire set of new tires, rather than buying them one at a time or in pairs. When you replace your tires in a set of four, you maintain the original handling balance. Finally, tire manufacturers are constantly improving their tires, and when you replace them four at a time, you'll get the full benefit of the latest tire technology.
What tire rotation pattern should I follow?
What type of tire rotation you should get depends on the type of vehicle you have. Usually, there are three different rotation patterns. On front-wheel-drive vehicles, your tires should be rotated in a forward cross pattern, while rear-wheel and four-wheel-drive vehicles will have their tires rotated in a rearward cross pattern. If neither of the tire patterns provides your vehicle with even wear, your tires should be dismounted and then rebalanced. Vehicles with different sized directional wheels and tires and/or wheels with different front and rear offsets with directional tires might require remounting and rebalancing before being rotated.
