Keep your vehicle safe and your tires lasting longer with routine rotations.
The Importance of Tire Maintenance
The tires are the sole point of contact between your vehicle and the road. By rotating your tires regularly, you ensure even wear, optimal handling, and greater safety. Failing to maintain your tires can cause uneven wear, higher fuel consumption, and a higher chance of blowouts.
The Benefits of Regular Tire Rotations
Regular tire rotations come with several key benefits, including:
- Even Tread Wear: Even wear extends the lifespan of your tires by distributing the pressure more evenly.
- Smoother Handling: Rotating tires improves handling, giving you better traction for a smoother ride.
- Increased Fuel Economy: Well-maintained tires lower rolling resistance, boosting fuel efficiency.
- Save Money on Tires: With regular tire rotations, you’ll save money by delaying the need for replacements.
How to Know When to Rotate Your Tires
Not sure if it’s time to rotate your tires? Look for these signs:
- Irregular Tread Wear: When you notice uneven wear across the tread, a rotation is due.
- Car Vibration: Vibrations at higher speeds are often caused by uneven tire wear.
- Pulling to One Side: A car that pulls to one side could be an indication of uneven tire wear.
As a rule of thumb, consider rotating your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or as specified in your vehicle’s manual.

When you get a tire rotation, expect the following services:
- Examining your tires for any damage or irregular wear patterns
