The quality and performance of your tires are vital to your safety and the long-term health of your car. Tires are the only part of your car in contact with the ground, and this causes them to wear. Regular tire rotation improves the safety, fuel efficiency, and comfort of your driving experience. As your Chrysler dealer, we would like you to know the benefits of scheduling a rotation with us.
Extended Tire Tread Life
Your tire tread helps to grip the road and to keep your car stable. As your tires are in constant contact with the road, they suffer wear from friction, temperature changes, and even driving habits. By rotating your tires, you help to maintain a consistent tread on all your tires and this helps to extend their lifespan. Protecting your tire tread also helps you to brake easier and quicker.
Improved Gas Mileage
Regular rotation of your tires reduces friction and improves tire traction. Approximately 60% of your car’s weight is in the front and consequently, your front tires will suffer more wear. By rotating your tires you equalize the wear on the tires. A more even wear on the treads also improves traction and stability, and this reduces your gas consumption.
Smoother Driving Experience
Tires that are not rotated regularly wear unevenly, and you will notice a rougher and less stable drive. The uneven tread picks up every bump and crevice on the road. By rotating your tires, you ensure a smoother and more enjoyable driving experience for you and your passengers.
Improved Vehicle Handling
When your tires are rotated, you will notice an improvement in your car’s handling. Braking is easier when your tires have a more even tread as your tires grip the road surface better. Your steering control is also improved as an even tread gives your car improved balance and stability. The benefit of improved handling is even more important under rainy conditions or the snow and ice of our Michigan winters.
Save Money
A regular rotation ensures that the treads of your tires wear at an even rate, and this extends the life of your tires. New tires can be expensive, and by having a longer time between tire replacements you can more easily budget for their replacement. The cost savings also extend to other parts of your car.
By reducing vibrations due to unevenly worn tires, you also reduce strain on your axles, braking system, suspension, and wheels. The reduced strain on these components saves you the cost of future potentially expensive repairs.
Now you know the benefits of a scheduled rotation of your tires, call our service department at Bill Snethkamp CDJR today. Our trusted technicians will quickly and easily rotate your tires, and we will also check them for any signs of wear. We recommend a rotation every 7,500 miles or six months, which is every second oil change on your vehicle’s scheduled maintenance.
