What is a Tire Rotation?
When you bring your car in for a tire rotation, our team removes the tires from your vehicle and puts them back on in different positions. This frequently involves swapping your front tires with your rear tires. Why? It's to help your tires wear evenly. It's important to maintain even tread across all four tires because it helps your tires last longer and perform better.
Unfortunately, your tires don't tend to wear evenly on their own. For example, your front tires tend to wear out faster because they're responsible for steering your vehicle. So, allowing your tires to get some ground time from a different spot on your car helps them wear out more evenly.
Why Even Tire Tread Matters
Does it really make a difference if some tires are more worn than others? The short answer is yes. If your tires don't have even tread, it can be more difficult for your car to gain the traction it needs. Traction is important for moving around on Tucson streets, but it's equally important for stopping.
Tires are often overlooked when it comes to safety features, but your tires are actually crucial parts of a safer driving experience. When your tires have even, adequate tread, you'll find that it's easier to slow down and stop when the moment calls for it.
