The Importance of Rotating Tires

August 11, 2017 by Jim Hensley Leave a Comment

Have you been driving a lot? When is the last time you changed your tires? As we’ve talked about before, your tires are a very important part of your car – and shouldn’t be left to the point of popping before changing.

It’s a big expense. If you don’t know how to change your tires yourself, you could rack up a very expensive mechanic bill when you factor in parts and labor. However, there is one way to increase the lifespan of your tires – rotating them.

Rotating tires is when you switch your tires around. You literally rotate them so that your front tires are now in the back, and your back tires are now in the front. While this task may seem menial, today we will be explaining just how important rotating tires is and how it can save you money!

 

Uneven Tire Wear

When you drive, your front tires typically receive the brunt of the punishment. This can cause uneven wear, which can result in one set of tires getting used up a lot quicker than the others. In order to save yourself from having to buy a new set of front tires every few months, rotating them can greatly increase the lifespan as it gives your former back tires a chance to more evenly wear out.

 

A Smoother Drive

When you drive, do you notice that you are veering more toward one side than the other? This may be a result of your tires not being worn out evenly. It’s simple science – when one tire is more bald than the other it has a slight lean toward that side. That lean at high speeds will cause your car to veer off slightly to that side.

This isn’t only annoying – it could be dangerous. If you take your eyes off the road for a few seconds your car may have veered over the lane marker. This can cause a terrible accident – especially at high speeds.

 

Save You Money

The most important aspect to rotating tires is how much money it can save you in the end. By rotating your tires, you’re decreasing the likelihood of having to replace certain parts. When tires are worn out, it doesn’t only affect the tires. It affects all the parts attached to the wheels as well. Like everything else in your car – if you keep it up to date and in good condition it will pay off in the end.

 

Rotating tires can be a difficult habit to get in to – but it’s a habit that has a ton of benefits. By rotating tires, you’re ensuring a smoother ride, longer tire life and saving yourself money. Do it regularly and you will soon see the benefits!
