What is Tire Rotation and Why Does My Vehicle Need It?
You have probably heard about the need to rotate your vehicle’s tires. But have you ever wondered why or if it is really necessary? Tire rotation is essential to the optimal health of your vehicle’s tires. Each tire likely wears at a different rate depending on its position on the vehicle. So, without rotating your tires, the tread wear will be uneven. This affects your vehicle’s performance, handling and comfortable ride. With tire rotation, each tire is relocated to a different position, thus changing its wear point. Besides increasing a tire’s tread life, this process leads to better vehicle performance, such as acceleration, cornering, braking and traction.
Your next question might be how often you should rotate your tires. It is best to inquire at the dealership’s service center for a recommendation. Many recommend rotation about every 5,000 miles to ensure even wear and a secure drive. This might work out perfectly to have performed with your vehicle’s oil change, making it convenient and easy to remember.
