Tires are an important part of your car, yet they are the one thing often neglected in terms of rotations and balancing. Whether drivers are buying a new vehicle or a used vehicle, tires are often one of the first things Clarksville buyers inspect. They want to know that the vehicle has good tires that will last a long time. However, to ensure they last a long time and are in good shape requires regular tire rotations, especially for the Fort Campbell area. Our team at Gary Mathews Motors Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT is here to offer tire maintenance advice so visit us.
As a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram dealer, we see many drivers throughout the day. When we sell a vehicle, we always make sure the vehicle has good tires. If the vehicle is new, the tires will be new as well. However, even new tires wear out after a while. The best way to ensure they last a long time and provide you with a good ride is to get them on a rotation schedule and stick to it. We also offer not only advice on tire rotation but also provide tire rotation service. Many Hopkinsville drivers don't understand the importance of rotating the tires regularly.
Reasons To Rotate Tires
Even brand new tires tend to wear unevenly. For instance, your front tires tend to wear on the outer edges because of the way they lean into a corner. Your rear tires will do the same as the front tires, but their effect isn't the same. If you never rotate the tires, the front tires will always wear out quicker than the rear tires.
Tire experts recommend buying all four new tires when you need tires. However, if your tires are not rotated regularly, your front tires will wear out before the rear, which means you might be buying rear tires that are still good. Who wants to buy tires when they're still good? The best way to avoid this is to rotate all four times at one time. It doesn't matter if you rotate them clockwise or counterclockwise as long as you rotate them all.
If your tires are unbalanced or out of alignment, the tires will wear out before their time.
Your vehicle will handle better and provide a smoother ride if the tires are rotated regularly.
Tires will last longer if they're rotated regularly, which will save you money in the long run.
Is Just Rotating Tires Enough?
Rotating your tires means taking them from the front and putting them on the rear, rotating them diagonally or from the rear to the front. As important as it is to rotate your tires, that's not the only maintenance your vehicle needs when the rotation occurs. When the tires are rotated, the air pressure should also be checked and adjusted if necessary. When determining the required air pressure, do not go by the psi listed on the tire.
Go by the amount listed on the sticker of your vehicle or in the owner's manual. While you have the tires off the vehicle, the brakes should be checked as well. Why wait until a later date to check the brakes when you already have the tires off. Our technicians can do all of this for you if you bring your vehicle to us.
How Often Should I Rotate My Tires?
As a dealer of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram, we know how to provide your vehicle with the best tire maintenance and can set you up on a schedule. As a rule, tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 7,000 miles. Some vehicles, such as front-wheel drive tires, may need to be rotated more frequently. Again, our professionals in the Oak Grove, KY area, can help you determine when your tires need rotation and set up regular appointments.
