The Importance of Tire Rotations

To protect the health of your tires, one of the most important routine services is tire rotations. This service is the periodic rotation of tires that allows for even distribution of tread wear, helping to avoid leaks, damages, and even blowouts. Tire rotations also help to preserve traction so you can stay balanced and secure when encountering slick surfaces.

Since this service is so essential to your safety as well as the proper care and maintenance of your vehicle, it’s recommended a tire rotation is performed every 5,000 miles or six months. There are also different patterns for tire rotations depending on if your car is armed with front-wheel, all-wheel, or four-wheel drive. Our technicians are highly trained to recognize the best tire rotation pattern for your specific vehicle, so you can trust you’ll be in good hands at our service center.

How Long Do Tires Last?

You can usually expect your tires to last around 40,000 miles or around four years. However, with proper maintenance with routine rotations and alignments, you may be able to prolong the life of your wheels to enjoy all the road has to offer for longer.

On the other hand, different driving habits can cause you to have to replace your tires sooner. For example, driving on improperly inflated tires can cause excessive wear that over time may lead to damage or a leak. Check the pressure of your tires regularly and ensure they’re always inflated to the proper pressure as indicated in your owner’s manual.

Driving in extreme conditions, such as off-roading, can also cause your tires to wear down sooner. So, if you’ve been having some unforgettable weekend adventure in your Explorer, anticipate changing your tires sooner.
