RISK OF SKIPPING TIRE ROTATIONS AND BALANCING

The process of rotating your tires entails changing the position of your tires after some number of miles. On average, vehicles require the tires to be rotated each 5,000-8,000 miles, which is the same amount that an oil replacement.

The other aspect of maintaining your tires is balancing. Each tire is evaluated by its the distribution of weight. This method identifies any light or heavy areas that could create an imbalance in your vehicle. Technicians will put every tire on the machine and then conduct an examination of its balance.

WHY SHOULD I REGULARLY GET TIRE ROTATIONS?

If your vehicle experiences long-term use, the tires absorb the brunt of physical wear. The ability to change their position on your vehicle allows different parts in the tire wear down in a similar way. This can prolong the life of your tires as the tread can stand up to more.

RISKS OF SKIPPING TIRE ROTATIONS

If you don't take care of your tires Your tires are likely to suffer unbalanced wear, resulting in major issues and costly repairs. Here are the greatest dangers you run when you neglect maintenance of your tires.

Heat Buildup

The treads on the outside of a tire have grooves in them to let air flow. This helps to keep the tire cool, even when driving at high speeds or on scorching asphalt like that we experience in Florida. In the absence of rotation, the parts of your tires which experience more wear have a lower tread, which will eliminate the airflow pockets that are required to regulate temperature. Most often, this extreme temperature can cause tire blowouts that can result in accidents or leave you in a bind.

Hydroplaning

In extreme instances treads undergo an extreme level of degradation that they're no longer in a position to grip the road. Hydroplaning happens when your car loses grip and starts to slide out of control. This puts you as well as other drivers in danger.

If you get a tire rotation it is a guarantee the professional inspected their tires' condition. Typically, a mechanic will give an estimate of the amount of time you'll have before you have to buy new tires.

Poor Traction In Winter Conditions

If you're planning on going to areas covered in snow and ice, then it's more crucial to properly take care of your car. Like like hydroplaning, your vehicle can slide off the road and or even get stuck. The chance of being stuck in snow and requiring the help of a tow vehicle can be greatly reduced through regular vehicle maintenance.

Punctures

Do you realize that about 7 tire punctures occur each second? That's only across the United States! This is around 220 million tires that are flat each year, and many of them could have been avoided by proactive actions.

As your tires get worn down as they age, it's more difficult for objects to puncture a hole the tire. Rotation permits inspection and balances out wear, which reduces the chance of bursting the tire.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF UNBALANCED TIRES?

Watch out for these signs that are common to tire problems:

Vibrations

Steering problems

Uneven tire wear

Bad fuel economy

Bearings and shocks are not working properly.
