Rotating your car's tires is necessary to ensure even wear, ultimately extending the life of your tires and improving overall performance. To promote a safe and smooth ride, our used car dealership in Birmingham encourages you to rotate your tires according to your owner's manual, or every 5,000 to 7,500 miles.
Tire rotation is an important maintenance task that entails periodically changing the position of each of the tires on your vehicle. Since there are numerous tire rotation patterns, it's best to follow the pattern outlined in your owner's manual.
Regularly rotating your tires also gives the service technicians a good opportunity to visually inspect them for damage, check their air pressure, have them rebalanced if there's any vibration, and inspect their tread depth.

There are multiple reasons why tire rotation is an important aspect of your standard tire care. Since tires wear differently depending on their location on the vehicle and the car's drivetrain, routinely rotating your tires will help maximize their tread life.
For example, failure to rotate tires on a vehicle with front-wheel-drive will eventually result in the front tires having significantly less tread than the rear tires. Uneven tread wear will cause poor handling, which can ultimately compromise your safety.
Additionally, the tire maker may require you to rotate your tires on a regular schedule in order to keep the warranty in force.
