Tire Rotation Maintains Vehicle Performance and Safety

Many drivers only realize the importance of regular tire rotations when problems start showing up. Understanding when and why this essential service is needed can save you money and help you avoid potential road hazards.

Signs you may need a tire rotation:

• Uneven tire tread wear
• Vehicle pulling to one side
• Decreased fuel efficiency
• Vibration while driving
• More than 5,000-7,000 miles since last rotation
• Different tire pressure needs between front and rear
• After buying new tires

During a tire rotation, we move front tires to the rear and vice versa, often crossing them diagonally based on your vehicle's drivetrain type. This method ensures each tire spends time in different positions on your vehicle, which promotes even wear across all four tires. Most manufacturers suggest rotating tires every 5,000-7,000 miles, though this varies based on how you drive and your specific vehicle.
