Tire rotations are an essential part of routine vehicle maintenance that help ensure your tires wear evenly and last as long as possible. During a tire rotation service, a technician will move the tires to different positions on the vehicle. The back tires will change places with the front tires. This promotes equal tire wear and will extend the lifespan of your vehicle’s tires. Learn more about why you should rotate your tires and visit Lexus of Warwick today.
When and Why to Get Your Tires Rotated
Most vehicle manufacturers recommend getting your tires rotated about every 5,000 to 8,000 miles. Tire rotations usually coincide with when you need an oil change service. However, it's best to check your owner's manual for the specific tire rotation interval recommended for your make and model.
There are several key reasons to stay on top of tire rotations:
- Even tread wear - Tires in different positions experience different stresses and wear patterns. Front tires carry more of the vehicle's weight. They’re also subjected to the forces of steering and braking. Rotating the tires allows them to wear more evenly over time.
- Longer tire life - By promoting even wear, regular rotations can help your tires last significantly longer. This saves you money in the long run.
- Better handling - Tires with uneven wear can cause vibrations or pulling to one side. This will negatively impact ride comfort and handling. Keeping the tread wear even with rotations provides more predictable vehicle control.
- Maintain tire warranty - Many tire warranties require rotations to be performed on schedule to remain valid.
