Why Should You Rotate Your Tires?

Although many often overlook the importance of rotating your tires, there are many benefits. To start, when you rotate your tires, you are helping spread the wear and tear equally across all tires, increasing the tread life. For example, when you have front-wheel drive, a majority of the pressure and use comes from your front wheels, making them wear down faster than your back tires. However, when you engage in a tire rotation, you're spreading that pressure to other wheels on your car, increasing their overall life expectancy.

Another key reason to rotate your tires is that it will help keep the tread depth on your tires equal. This means your cars will have good traction and will be able to corner and brake better, keeping both you and your family safer.

What Tire Rotation Pattern Is Best For Me?

It depends on a few things. A tire rotation pattern for one won't necessarily be the best pattern for you. That's because it depends on whether your car or truck is front, rear, all, or four-wheel drive. A few examples of tire rotation patterns would be a rearward cross, x-pattern, forward cross, front-to-rear, and more! Our team at Cloninger Ford of Salisbury will be able to explore what option is best for you and your vehicle.

How Often Should I Rotate My Tires?

Our team at Cloninger Ford of Salisbury recommends rotating your tires around every 5,000 miles, or at least when you come in for an oil change. A variety of factors go into how soon you need to rotate your tires, including the weather, and whether or not your car is front or rear-wheel drive.
