Rotating your tires is an easy service most auto repair shops offer. At Cobb Tire and Auto Repair, we sell all tire brands and want them to last. Tire rotation is crucial and should happen every time you get an oil change.
We believe informed drivers are safer drivers. Here’s why tire rotation matters:
- It Ensures Even Tread Wear: Front and rear tires have different roles. Front tires handle steering and braking, so they wear down faster. Rotating them to the back helps all four tires wear evenly. This way, they’ll need replacement at the same time.
- Extends Tire Lifespan: Tires are a significant investment. Without rotation, uneven wear can lead to early replacement. Regular rotations can add thousands of miles to your tires’ life.
- Helps Maintain Your Tire Warranty: Most tire manufacturers require proof of regular rotations for their mileage warranties. Skipping rotations could mean paying full price for new tires if issues arise.
- Improves Fuel Efficiency: Unevenly worn tires make your engine work harder, using more fuel. Smooth, even tires can boost your gas mileage.
- Enhances Safety and Traction: Uneven wear affects how your vehicle handles. This can be dangerous in rain or snow, where consistent tread depth is vital for safety.
How Often Should You Rotate Your Tires? Rotate your tires every 5,000 miles. A good rule is to get a rotation with every oil change. At Cobb Tire and Auto Repair, we offer a free tire rotation with your oil change service.
