Tire rotation is important not only to extend the life of your tires but also for safety reasons. Over a period of time, your tires start to wear. The cause is simple. Every time you turn a corner, your tires lean out causing wear on the outside of the tire. Also, poor tire alignment can cause wear even faster. It is recommended to rotate your tires every six months or 6,000 to 8,000 miles.
With a proper rotation, all tires are removed from the vehicle and moved to a new position. Air pressure should be checked as well as brakes since the tires have been removed. Your tires will wear more evenly giving you a smoother ride and safer handling. Letting tires wear down without a rotation can cause tire blowouts. If this happens while driving at high speeds, the end result could be devastating.
Find a professional, rotate your tires and save money. Take care of your vehicle and it will take care of you.
