Tire Rotation

Having your tires rotated regularly is the best way to maximize the life of your tires. It ensures that all tires wear evenly and last longer by moving them to a different position on your vehicle each time they are rotated.

Your Car-X Man will gladly rotate your tires every 6,000 miles, or based on manufacturer specifications.

Many tire manufacturers require scheduled rotations to keep the mileage warranty of the tire valid. Keeping your tires rotated will help all four tires wear at the same time, thus maintaining proper handling.

If you have a full size spare and wish to have that added to the rotation, simply install the spare to the right rear, and the tire that would have gone to the right rear should replace the spare with each rotation.

Note: Please note that some vehicles have staggered or directional tire size fitments and cannot be rotated in a traditional manner.

Understanding the benefits of regular tire rotations…

When you drive, your vehicles front and rear tires wear out differently based on their position on the vehicle. For instance, the front tires take more wear since it handles the steering, which in turn causes more stress on those tires. This wear is even further accelerated when you operate a front-wheel drive vehicle.

Your rear tires operate in more stationary terms and the wear pattern on your rear tires will be different over time than your vehicle’s front tires.

Regular tire rotations extend the life of your tires while giving the technician an opportunity to check the condition of your tires and insure they are properly inflated.

Moving the tires to a different position on the car during each tire rotation will extend the life of the tires and help keep you safe on the road.
