When you think of common maintenance for a vehicle, the first things that come to mind are probably oil changes and inspections. However, tire rotation should not be far behind these. Rotating your tires on a regular basis has a number of benefits that will improve your driving experience.
Tires Wear Unevenly
Even if you’re the most careful driver in the world, your tires will still wear unevenly. For example, front tires tend to see more abuse on the outside edges, as going around curves puts more pressure on this area. Unless you rotate these tires on a regular basis, the front tires will wear out much faster, causing you to need tires much sooner than you otherwise would.
Tires Become Noisy
Unsurprisingly, when tires aren’t even on the surface of the road, they’ll make a lot more noise. While you might be able to ignore the vibrations for a while, they’ll become more pronounced the longer you let it go. Not only is this annoying, but it can damage other parts of the vehicle.
Tires Could Skid or Slide
Aside from being a money pit and a major annoyance, tires that have worn unevenly also pose a safety risk .They are much more likely to lose traction on slippery surfaces, meaning you could slide out of control and get into an accident.
