A\u00a0tire rotation<\/a>\u00a0is the routine repositioning of a vehicle\u2019s front and rear tires to preserve the tread, maintain their warranty and keep you safe on the road. It’s important to maintain a consistent\u00a0tire rotation schedule\u00a0to avoid costly, or even life-threatening mistakes.<\/p>\n

What a tire rotation\u00a0is not, is randomly shuffling the tires of your car. There are specific patterns and recommended configurations that service professionals follow depending on the type of car to get the benefits of a tire rotation.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s go into detail about what happens when you don’t rotate your tires.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Uneven Tire Tread Wear Patterns<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s inevitable that your tires will wear, but if you don’t rotate tires regularly, they\u2019re more likely towear unevenly<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Shorter Lifespan of your Tires Wear<\/h2>\n

The lifespan of your tires<\/a> plays directly into uneven treadwear patterns. If you’re not properly maintaining routine tire rotations, you aren’t getting the full value of your tires.<\/p>\n

Vibration and Noise<\/h2>\n

Tires that haven’t been properly rotated can cause a significant amount of vibration or noise due to uneven wear. These symptoms can cause a domino effect and lead to other performance issues, requiring additional maintenance.<\/p>\n

Hydroplaning<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Failure to rotate your tires can lead to hydroplaning. This occurs when tires lose their grip on the pavement and skid on top of the water, putting the driver in danger of uncontrollably sliding off the road. Losing control of your vehicle puts you and any passengers at considerable risk.<\/p>\n

Blowouts<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When you have uneven tires, due to irregular tire rotation, they can lose tire pressure, which often leads to blowouts. Tire blowouts<\/a>, which cause about 11,000 accidents a year, can cause drivers to lose control of their vehicle, putting you and passengers at risk of injury.<\/p>\n

How Often Should You Get a Tire Rotation?<\/h2>\n

Ideally, you should schedule a tire rotation every other oil change<\/a>, or every 3-7,000 miles. This will ensure that your front and rear tires wear evenly. However, your vehicle\u2019s manual will have the ideal schedule for your particular make and model.<\/p>\n
