Is it time for tire rotation?

Tire rotation is needed to ensure even wear on all four tires, which helps extend their lifespan and maintain optimal handling and safety. Most vehicle manufacturers recommend rotating your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or during routine maintenance, such as an oil change. However, factors like uneven tread wear, frequent off-road driving, or carrying heavy loads may require more frequent rotations. Signs that a tire rotation is overdue include uneven tread wear, noticeable vibrations while driving, or reduced traction. However, if there are obvious signs of tire wear and your vehicle is vibrating, be sure to get your suspension components inspected. Regular tire rotations also help preserve proper alignment and improve fuel efficiency, ensuring a smoother and safer driving experience. Always check your vehicle's owner’s manual for specific guidelines on rotation patterns and intervals.  Contact AM Mechanics and Repair for specific recommendations tailored to your vehicle at your door.
