Regularly rotating your tires is an essential part of maintaining a safe vehicle. This brief service appointment also ensures a smooth and comfortable ride. There are a lot of reasons why routinely booking a tire rotation at your local car dealer is a smart idea.

1. It Will Extend the Life of Your Tires

Regularly rotating your tires ensures that the treads are wearing evenly. It also extends the life of your tires, which saves you money because you don’t have to replace them as frequently. The front tires of any vehicle tend to take the biggest beating, and routinely rotating the position of the tires on the car spreads out that wear and tear.

When your tires are rotated, the rear tires are typically moved to the front, and the front tires are moved back.

2. It Will Keep Your Vehicle Safer

Your vehicle is safer and better able to grip the road when your tire treads are evenly worn. Uneven wear on your treads can also contribute to bigger problems. Severely uneven treads can create differences in the size of your tires, which can ultimately impact your vehicle’s suspension, brakes, or wheel bearings. Regularly rotating your tires ensures the safety of your vehicle and everyone riding in it. It can also extend the life of your vehicle.

Rotating your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles is a good rule of thumb.

3. It Will Make Driving More Comfortable

Tires that are worn unevenly can cause your vehicle to vibrate or make a lot of noise when driven. Rotating your vehicles can correct those issues and give you a smooth and comfortable ride. A vehicle that has properly rotated tires is also easier to steer and navigate. You’ll feel more in control behind the wheel if your tires have been rotated and are wearing evenly.

4. It Will Improve Your Vehicle’s Fuel Efficiency

Driving on tires that are unevenly worn uses extra fuel. That’s because uneven tire treads create extra resistance when the vehicle is on the road. When your tires have been rotated, your vehicle will function more efficiently, and you’ll be able to drive further between gas tank fill-ups. The boost in fuel efficiency is another example of how regular rotations can save you money in the long run.

If you can’t remember when the tires on your vehicle were last rotated, it’s probably time to check in with the service department at your local dealership and schedule an appointment. When you’re ready to have your tires rotated, call Duncan Suzuki.
