What Are the Benefits of Tire Rotation?

4 Compelling Reasons Why You Need to Rotate Your Tires Periodically

One of the most essential aspects of car maintenance is protecting your tires. If you’ve been taking your tires for granted, you should know that tires are essential to road safety since they’re the only parts of your vehicle that come in direct contact with the road. If your tires are well maintained, they will help prevent blowouts that could lead to serious accidents on the road.

One of the essential maintenance steps you need to do for your tires is to have them rotated at the tire shop every 6,000 to 8,000 miles. The procedure might seem like a waste of time and money, but this will help ensure uniform treads on your tires, extending their lives. Tires that are periodically rotated will also give you more traction on the road especially during the rainy season, protecting you from accidental slips and swerves while driving.

If you’re still not convinced, Kids Car Donations summarizes the benefits of tire rotation:

  1. It prevents uneven tire wear.

Tires on the front axle of your car can wear differently than those in the back, so it’s essential to rotate them periodically to prevent uneven wear.

  1. It delivers better handling of your car.

You’ll get a much smoother ride if the treads of your tires are even. It makes your driving experience and car handling much better.

  1. It saves you money.

You can extend the life of your tires by preventing uneven wear. You don’t have to replace them as often as you would if you rotate them periodically.

  1. It decreases noise and vibration.

You’ll notice an increased vibration in the steering wheel when your tires wear unevenly. It can also cause a noisier ride. Having your tires rotated regularly will significantly decrease noise and vibration.

The good news is that if you buy a full set of tires from your local tire stores, they usually rotate your tires for free. If the rotation is not covered by your tire dealer, it is still fairly inexpensive than having to purchase new tires more often.

Give Your Old Ride a New and Worthy Purpose
