Tire Rotation Service

Tire Longevity

The primary reason for having regular tire rotations is to ensure that your tires wear evenly. Because of various road conditions, tires are more susceptible to normal wear and tear. They're constantly wearing down and you may not notice it until it's too late. Tires that wear evenly have a better chance of lasting the duration intended by the manufacturer, which means you won't have to replace them sooner than necessary. The timeframe for tire rotations can be anywhere from 3,000 miles to 7,500 miles unless otherwise specified by the tire manufacturer. Our service advisors can let you know the specific timeframe for your vehicle and help you stay on track.

Myth's Debunked

Several myths are floating among drivers, and they're typically passed down from one generation to the next.

• Myth: There is only one way that tires should be rotated. Fact: There are five types of tire rotations, which include: front-to-back, side-to-side, forward cross, rearward cross, and X-pattern.
• Myth: The interior vibration from unbalanced tires only affects the driver. Fact: The vibration that comes from unbalanced tires can be felt throughout the interior of your vehicle and it can be extremely uncomfortable for all passengers.
• Myth: The spare tire doesn't need to be included in tire rotations. Fact: While donut spares should never be included, if you have a full-size spare, it is to your advantage to include it within the tire rotation to maintain a consistent wear pattern.
• Myth: Tire rotations should occur with every oil change. Fact: As mentioned above, there are specific timeframes for tire rotations; however, it is advantageous to schedule your oil change at variable intervals that are consistent with necessary tire rotations, purely for convenience.
