You might have recently come into our service center for an oil change and been asked if you’d like a tire rotation. But you might be like many of our Chatham customers who are wondering: “What is a tire rotation, and what does rotating your tires mean and do?” Tire rotations are performed to prevent one tire from wearing down faster than the others due to use, which extends the life of the entire set. This process is important for maintaining your traction, preventing blowouts, and improving your vehicle’s performance and fuel economy while you’re driving around Rochester. Learn more about what a tire rotation is, how to do a tire rotation yourself, and how it can help you, with Green Dodge. Then contact us with any questions that you might have.
Tire rotations are easy enough to understand when you take a step back: tires are moved from one position on a vehicle to another position. In most cases, the front tires will be swapped to the back, and the back will be moved forward. The back tires will also change sides, meaning your back right becomes the forward left and so on. This also means that not only finding out what a tire rotation is, but how to perform them, can be quite easy to understand. These are what is called the tire rotation pattern.
The short answer to, “What does tire rotations do,” is actually a surprising amount for your vehicle. For a more detailed breakdown, they can help:
Most maintenance schedules recommend a tire rotation every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, which falls in line with many scheduled service intervals. The exact timeframe however is in your owner’s manual, but you can also rely on the experts in our service center to get you back on the road in no time.
