Can’t remember the last time you had your tires rotated? Want to rotate your vehicle’s tires at home but aren’t sure how? The Leman's Chevrolet City Llc service center can help. Aside from better traction on Normal roads, regular tire rotations can help you avoid issues with your tires in the future.
Tires don’t wear evenly. This can be accelerated by the impact they experience when turning or when driving on rough terrain regularly. This causes the outer edges of the front tires to wear faster than the rear wheels. And the rear wheels tend to wear a bit more evenly. If you don’t regularly rotate your tires, they will wear at different rates and you’ll have no choice but to replace them sooner.
This is why it’s necessary to understand the importance of tire rotation so you can be sure to schedule appointments and avoid damage to your tires. If your wheels are wearing unevenly, you’re more likely to have a blowout, which can easily lead to an accident.
Front and rear-wheel drive vehicles usually need their tires rotated every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. All-wheel drive vehicles require tire rotation more frequently, every 3,000-5,000 miles. The reason is that all tires are actively engaged and that causes faster wear. Check out our guide on how often to rotate tires, but note that all Decatur drivers should check their owner’s manual for vehicle-specific recommendations. Not sure where to find it? Contact our service team and we’ll help you determine the right guide to follow.
If you want to know how to rotate your tires at home, you’ll need a car jack, lug nut wrench, and a set of car jacks. Then, when you’re ready, follow these five steps:
