Your tires are an important part of your driving experience. They keep you safe on the road and provide a smooth ride. Keep them in prime condition with regular tire rotation service at Stanley Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Brownwood.Why You Need Regular Tire Rotation
As you drive around Brownwood, Comanche, and Coleman, you rely on your tires to help you get where you’re going. Part of that reliance comes from the traction from the tires as they grip the road. Over time, the tread will wear down, resulting in less traction when you need it. Rotating your tires can help them wear more evenly and for longer.Each tire touches the pavement at a slightly different position, causing the wear to be unique to that position. When you rotate the tires, they can wear evenly all around. Otherwise, your tires can wear too much in one area, leading them to be weaker and more prone to punctures and blow outs.
When Do Your Tires Need to Be Rotated?
Tire rotation is a part of routine maintenance for your vehicle. The owner’s manual should list a recommendation for how often this is scheduled.You can also talk to the service technicians at Stanley Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Brownwood to determine the best schedule for your vehicle. Most of the time, it’s recommended to schedule a tire rotation every 5000 to 7000 miles.
Rotating Your Tires
Your tires can be rotated in several different patterns. If your tires are directional, they can only be moved from front to rear and vice versa. If you have non-directional tires, they most likely will be rotated with a modified cross rotation.This type of rotation has the free moving tires on a front or rear-wheel drive to move across and in the opposite direction. For instance, on a rear-wheel drive, the front driver tire would move to the rear passenger side. The rear passenger tire would move up to the passenger front.
When it comes to a four-wheel drive vehicle, all tires cross to the opposite side. Sometimes, you may want only a front or rear tire rotation. In this case, your tires would just move across to the other side. It’s generally recommended that you rotate all four tires at once unless you have two new tires that you want to stay on the drive axle.
Balancing and Aligning Your Tires
You should keep the wheels aligned to prevent wear on the tires. You’ll also need to have the tires balanced if the vehicle starts to vibrate as you drive. Failure to have an alignment or balancing when it’s needed will cause your tires to wear out quicker.You can schedule a tire rotation with the service team at Stanley Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Brownwood.
