Tires & Wheels: Tire Rotation
Description:
Tire rotation refers to the regular practice of switching the position of
each tire on the car.
Purpose: Tire
rotation helps to equalize tread wear and is critical to gain the maximum
life from your tire investment.
Maintenance
Tips/Suggestions: Refer to your owner's manual for the
recommended rotation interval and pattern; generally a rotation interval
of 6,000 miles is recommended. The rotation pattern varies with different
makes and models, which shows the tire locations during rotation. Some
vehicles have different size tires on the front and back or directional
tires. This limits the locations that a tire may take on the vehicle. When
in doubt, check the owner's manual or consult a professional technician
at Integrity Auto Repair for guidance. Tire rotation time also offers a good opportunity to have
the tires and wheels balanced. It's another step you can take to maximize
your tire investment.
