Why You Need to Rotate and Balance Your Tires
Top Reasons for Keeping Your Tires in Good Condition
Inevitably, your tires will wear out, especially if you use your car oftentimes daily. A set of tires is expected to last around 60,000 to 75,000 miles, depending on factors such as vehicle performance and driving habits.Tires don’t come cheap, which is why most drivers try to make them last for as long as possible.
One way to keep your tires in good condition to maximize their lifespan is by having them rotated and balanced at least once every six months or every 6,000 to 8,000 miles. If you have a non-luxury vehicle that needs an oil change every three months or 3,000 miles, you can have your tires balanced every other oil change.
These tire maintenance procedures aren’t something you can’t do by yourself and are best left for professionals to handle. This is mainly because they require special equipment.
Aside from maximizing the lifespan of your tires, Kids Car Donations lists three other reasons why you should get your tires rotated and balanced regularly:
- Reduce or eliminate tire vibration.
Tires with uneven wear cause increased road noise and vibrations in your vehicle. Feel that rumbling in your steering wheel while you’re driving? That’s a little reminder you need to get your tires rotated and balanced.
- Get better handling of your car.
Starting to feel that something’s off when you’re on the road? Are turns requiring more effort and aren’t as smooth as they used to be? Uneven tire wear affects your vehicle’s handling and gets worse the longer you ignore it. Avoid accidents and drive a lot smoother by taking your car to the shop for your tires’ rotation and balancing.
- Prevent additional wear on your drive components
This is true particularly for AWD or all-wheel drive vehicles. An even tire tread reduces stress on your drivetrain, making your ride more efficient and less prone to issues. Avoid a more expensive headache by simply getting your tires balanced and rotated.
