Regular vehicle maintenance is the key to extending the life of your vehicle. It is important to maintain all vehicle systems and a big part of regular maintenance includes tire and wheel maintenance. You have a lot riding on your tires and good tires are expensive. Having your tires checked regularly for proper inflation, tread wear, and proper alignment, can extend the life of your tires. One of the ways you can add more miles to your tires is through tire rotation, which is just moving the tires around the circumference of your wheelbase. If you are in need of a tire rotation, and you live in or near San Diego, Oceanside, or Chula Vista, bring your vehicle to Premier Cadillac of Carlsbad for your regular maintenance services, including tire rotation service.
Why Should I Rotate My Tires?
Rotating your tires is one of the easiest ways to extend the life of them. Your tires are one of your vehicle’s most important safety features when you consider they are the only part of your car, truck, minivan, or SUV that is in contact with the surface you are driving upon. We rotate tires to extend the tread wear, increasing the lifespan by ensuring that they all wear evenly.
Even tread wear ensures that your tires keep a good grip on the road. When you equalize tread wear from the front to the rear of your wheels, the response of the vehicle is more efficient, whether turning, driving, braking, towing, or hauling. It helps you to keep control of your vehicle, whatever you need to do.
Another benefit is if your tread wears evenly on all four tires, then all four tires can be replaced simultaneously when they wear out, so you are not constantly buying a new tire. Additionally, as tire design advances, it allows you to take advantage of the newer technology on all four tires when you change them all out at once.
If your vehicle is front-wheel drive, accelerated wear usually occurs on the front tires as compared to the rear tires. Since the front tires are the drive wheels and the weight of the engine applies added force, they wear down more rapidly. Add to that the additional forces of braking and steering, and you get additional wear on your tires.
How Often Should I Rotate My Tires?
Your owner’s manual usually has manufacturer recommendations as to how frequently you should rotate the tires. If it does not, most service centers would recommend rotating your tires about every 3,000-6,000 miles. A good practice is to rotate your tires every time you get an oil change, which can potentially save you money by avoiding premature replacement of your tires.
