Keep Your Tires Rotated & Balanced for Peak Mid-Michigan Driving

When it comes to keeping your vehicle running at its peak all year long, what maintenance procedures do you immediately think of? Two that you should stay on top of are tire rotation and tire balancing. Your tires are key to reliable driving in any season here in mid-Michigan. The Thelen Auto Group in Bay City, MI, wants you to understand why it is important to make sure you stay on top of these crucial services. Our family of dealerships will be happy to do these for you as well when you schedule an appointment at any of our Bay City locations. We also suggest that you have both services done at the same time if you can to give your tires the most comprehensive servicing possible. 

Tire Rotation & Tire Balancing Importance

Rotating Your Tires – During everyday operation, each of your tires is subjected to varying levels of pressure and wear. This inconsistency leads to uneven wear and related performance degradation over time. By rotating your tires, you place less-worn tires in the spots where greater wear is found and vice-versa. This keeps your tires equally controlled to maximize their longevity and performance. 

Tire Balance – Much like tire rotation, tire balancing is crucial to the peak performance and longevity of your tires. However, it goes beyond that as well. Improperly balanced tires can cause the ride inside the vehicle to become jarring, while also potentially damaging mechanical elements of the vehicle such as axles. When you bring in your vehicle for a tire balancing appointment, our technicians will use special weights to make sure each tire matches up with the other three. This will ensure that not only is your ride smoother, but it will preserve the health and performance of your tires for longer.
