Why You Should Have a Tire Rotation Service

Tire rotation is necessary for the tread on tires to wear evenly. Extending the mileage of your tires means you will need fewer tire changes over your vehicle's lifetime. Balanced handling and smooth operation come with even tire wear. Some cars with serious alignment problems can create unusual wear patterns on tires that are not serviced regularly. High pitched noises and worsening vibration is an unusual wear pattern that can be addressed with proper tire rotation. Inspecting brakes at the time of tire rotation, technicians can assess the life left on your brake components. Left unchecked, brake failure can be hazardous.

What Happens If You Don’t Rotate Your Tires

If your vehicle starts to wander or pull and become harder to steer, these are signs you have tread and balancing issues. Poor handling at curves and turns will occur with this condition. Unevenly worn tires are noisy and can make steering your vehicle difficult. If you happen to have an emergency, the vehicle can be more difficult to control. Add to that wet roads or other adverse driving conditions, and it becomes hazardous. Replacing bad tires will solve uneven wear issues. That can get expensive. Having regular tire rotations helps tread stay even so you will need fewer tire replacements.
