Keep your vehicle safe and your tires lasting longer with routine rotations.

How Proper Tire Maintenance Improves Safety

Your vehicle’s tires are its only point of contact with the road. Routine tire rotations and maintenance promote even wear, enhance handling, and improve safety. Neglecting this vital service can lead to uneven tread wear, reduced fuel efficiency, and a higher risk of blowouts.

Why You Should Rotate Your Tires Regularly

Regular tire rotations come with several key benefits, including:

  • Uniform Tire Wear: By rotating tires regularly, wear is spread out evenly, increasing tire longevity.
  • Better Vehicle Handling: With even wear, handling improves, providing better traction and a safer drive.
  • Increased Fuel Economy: Tires in good condition improve fuel efficiency by reducing rolling resistance.
  • Cost Savings: Tire rotations extend tire life, reducing the need for replacements and saving you money.

Signs Your Tires Need Rotation

If you're unsure whether it's time for a tire rotation, look for these signs:

  • Uneven Tire Wear: Uneven wear on your tires is a clear sign that a rotation is needed.
  • Vibration While Driving: Vibrations at higher speeds are often caused by uneven tire wear.
  • Pulling to One Side: If your vehicle veers slightly in one direction, uneven tire wear might be the culprit.

For most vehicles, rotating tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or per the manufacturer’s recommendations is ideal.

Tire Rotation Service Overview

When you get a tire rotation, expect the following services:

  • Examining your tires for any damage or irregular wear patterns
