Benefits of Rotating Your Tires

Tire rotation at All American Chrysler Jeep Dodge in Odessa, TX, can ensure that your RAM is running at its best. You might be wondering what a tire rotation is. Tire rotation is the practice of switching a car's tires from the back to the front to ensure that the vehicle's weight is distributed properly across the frame. Routine tire rotation is important for better handling, extended tire life, and as always can save money in the long run. Failure to rotate tires can cause the front or rear tires to wear out faster, depending on the vehicle's drive system, making it more difficult to control the vehicle under hazardous road conditions. When you take a moment and rotate your tires, you are helping your RAM or Jeep stay in prime condition. When you drive, a lot of pressure is exerted on your tires and depending on if you're front-wheel or rear-wheel drive, your tires have different pressure points. For example, if your car is a front-wheel drive, most of the pressure and friction occurs with your front tires, resulting in them wearing down faster than the wheels at the back of your car. When you rotate your tires, though, you are giving your tires a break and equalizing the pressure. Going off of the example above, the front-wheel tires would then be placed at the back of your car, while the rear wheels would be rotated to the front, helping to wear your tires down more gradually.

Tire Rotation Schedule

So how often should you be rotating your tires? Tires should be rotated every 5,000 miles, according to manufacturers' recommendations. For many people, this will be when they get their car's oil changed! Please contact us during our regular work hours! A common trick to remember is when you take your car in for an oil change, talk to your technician to see if it's a good time to rotate your tires. Depending on the weather conditions in which you drive and if your car is front, rear, or all-wheel drive, you may have to rotate your tires more or less often.
