The road is often a bumpy place, and over time, it can put a lot of wear and tear on your car’s tires. Luckily, there are ways to slow that natural deterioration. Having your Chevrolet’s tires routinely rotated is one of them. Read on to learn more about how regular tire rotation affects vehicle performance and when you should stop in for service.

3 Reasons To Have Your Tires Rotated

Longer Lifespan

Your tires take the brunt of the action. That’s why the tread on your tires can wear down at an accelerated rate. It all depends on your vehicle’s specific make and model, your turn tendencies, regular cargo loads, terrain, and more. Rotation helps ensure they wear evenly during their lifespan and helps minimize costly replacements.

Optimized Performance

Fresh off of the assembly line, your car is ready to take you virtually anywhere you need to go. Unfortunately, uneven tread can impact the way your vehicle handles on the road and fuel efficiency. Having your tires regularly rotated ensures the ride is as smooth as possible and that you’ll enjoy fewer pit stops along the way.

Safety

When the tread is at its peak, tires can firmly grip the road beneath you — which is especially important in adverse weather conditions. Even tread wear helps ensure your tires can help you reach your destinations safely.

When Should My Tires Be Rotated?

Many drivers have a tire rotation service performed when they go in for an oil change or every 5,000 to 8,000 miles, but you can check your Chevrolet service manual for information on the specific needs of your model.

The way your tires are rotated is also specific to rear-wheel, 4-wheel, and front-wheel configurations. Ensure yours are properly cared for by having a professional take care of this service for you. The qualified technicians at Martin Chevrolet can work out a schedule that suits your vehicle best.
