Tire rotation is a car maintenance procedure that entails changing the position of the wheels on a vehicle. But why is it so important?
As each wheel on your automobile has different responsibilities, individual tires will take on varying degrees of wear. For example, those at the front of a FWD vehicle absorb more torque and drag when braking and accelerating. Eventually, this can create an imbalance, which can lead to a compromised car performance.
Most auto manufacturers suggest that vehicles get a rotation every 5,000 miles. This will overall improve its general safety and handling, most noticeably with braking and cornering. New tires especially need to be regularly serviced, as fresh treads are more vulnerable to irregular wear.
