Keep your vehicle safe and your tires lasting longer with routine rotations.
The Importance of Tire Maintenance
Tires are the only part of your car that touches the road, making their maintenance crucial. Proper tire maintenance, including regular rotations, ensures even wear, better handling, and improved safety. Failing to maintain your tires can cause uneven wear, higher fuel consumption, and a higher chance of blowouts.
Advantages of Timely Tire Rotations
Routine tire rotations offer multiple benefits.
- Uniform Tire Wear: Regular rotations distribute wear more evenly, extending the life of your tires.
- Smoother Handling: Rotating tires improves handling, giving you better traction for a smoother ride.
- Better Fuel Efficiency: Properly maintained tires reduce rolling resistance, helping you save on fuel costs.
- Cost Savings: With regular tire rotations, you’ll save money by delaying the need for replacements.
How to Know When to Rotate Your Tires
If you're unsure whether it's time for a tire rotation, look for these signs:
- Irregular Tread Wear: When you notice uneven wear across the tread, a rotation is due.
- Car Vibration: Vibrations at higher speeds are often caused by uneven tire wear.
- Pulling to One Side: When your car pulls to one side, it’s often a result of uneven tire wear.
As a rule of thumb, consider rotating your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or as specified in your vehicle’s manual.

- Checking for tire damage or uneven wear
