Why is Tire Rotation Important?

Toyota tire
 
What does rotating your tires do? This is a common question Berkeley drivers ask. Our Oakland service team created this guide to explain tire rotation and the important role it plays in your safety on the San Leandro streets. Since tires don’t wear evenly, rotating them prevents any single tire from wearing out faster than the others. If you have any additional questions on how often to rotate tires, don’t hesitate to contact us or look online for tire details and general maintenance information.

What Does Rotating Your Tires Do?

Why should you rotate your tires? Whenever you accelerate, brake, turn your wheels, or drive around curves in Hayward, this requires friction between your tires and the road. Depending on the drivetrain your vehicle has, your tire treads will wear out at different rates:

  • Front-wheel drive vehicle: Engine power is directed to the front wheels, which are responsible for steering, starting, and most of the stopping force. Therefore, the front tires will wear out the fastest.
  • Rear-wheel drive vehicle: Engine power is directed to the rear wheels, but the front wheels are still responsible for steering and much of the braking. The rear tires will still wear out faster than the front tires, although at a generally slower rate.
  • All-wheel drive vehicle: Engine power is more evenly distributed, but many experts out there maintain that the rear tires will still wear out faster.
  • Intelligent all-wheel drive systems: Going around curves means different levels of strain and friction on the inside tires vs. outside tires. Some advanced all-wheel drive systems can even direct power to an individual wheel while driving around a curve for better cornering, which will further affect tire life.

How Often to Rotate Tires

On average, tires should be rotated every six months or every 5,000 to 8,000 miles. While these intervals might vary for your new or used model, be sure to review your owner’s manual for exact figures. If you’re unsure how often to rotate your tires, one of our certified service center technicians can provide you with additional details.

What Happens if I Don’t Rotate My Tires?

Why rotate your tires? If you don’t schedule a tire rotation service at the proper intervals, this can pose a safety risk to you and your passengers. Some of the issues uneven tires can cause include:

  • Poor traction and skidding on the roads
  • More rapid deterioration of brake pads
  • Flat tires and blowouts
