What Does Regular Tire Rotation Accomplish?
When you drive, your tires wear out in specific patterns depending on their position on your vehicle. If they are not rotated regularly, the tires will wear continually in the same areas where they contact the road. When you rotate your tires, their positions are regularly changed so that the tires wear more evenly. This extends the life of your tires.
When you rotate your tires regularly, the tread on the tires is evened out and that means your tires will continue to get good contact with the road and maintain good traction for your safety. Better traction means better control over your vehicle when you steer and when you encounter treacherous road conditions.
Additionally, when your tires are worn more evenly, you end up replacing all four at the same time rather than one or two at a time. This ensures that the handling at the front of the vehicle matches the handling at the rear. As a bonus, you get to take advantage of newer tire technologies which continue to improve.
There are some distinct differences in how the tires are worn. If you have a rear-wheel-drive vehicle, the rear tires will tend to have more wear. Likewise in a front-wheel-drive vehicle, the front tires will wear out more because of the extra weight on the front axle. The greater forces applied to the front tires, not only from driving forces but also from braking and steering forces, will wear the tires more rapidly.
When you have regular rotation services done to your tires, it allows the service technicians to perform regular inspections of your tires. They can check the wear patterns of your tread and can also inspect the general health of your tires to see if there has been any abnormal damage to them. They can ensure that your tires are properly inflated.
How Often Should You Get a Tire Rotation Service?
Most manufacturers recommend about every 3,000-6,000 miles but check your owner’s manual for their specific recommendations. If the information is not found there, ask the certified technicians at the Victory CDJR Service Center and they will be happy to provide their recommendations. A good rule of thumb is to have your tires rotated every time you have oil and filter maintenance performed on your vehicle as in most cases this recommendation is also every 3,000-6,000 miles.
