Rotating Your Tires

Tire rotation is an odd name for a service. After all, don’t your tires rotate whenever you drive? During a tire rotation service, the technicians will remove the wheels from your car. They’ll move the front wheels to the rear and the rear wheels to the front, sometimes also switching which wheels are on the left side and right.

Benefits of Regular Tire Rotations

Did you know that the tires on your vehicle wear down at different rates? The front axle is the one that’s in charge of steering, which puts extra strain on the tires. Also, in most vehicles, the engine is on the front, which means that the front tires have to deal with its weight. This extra strain is further increased in front-wheel drive vehicles. Without tire rotation, the front wheels would wear down before the rear ones, which means you’d have to replace all four tires.

How Often Should I Have My Tires Rotated?

The more regular tire rotation is, the better. It’s recommended that you rotate your tires at least once a year, though it may help bundle it with other services. If you get your tires rotated every time you come in for an oil change, for example, you’ll knock out two similarly-timed services at once.
