Why and How Often Should I Have My Vehicle’s Tires Rotated and Balanced?

Why Should I Rotate and Balance My Tires?

Keeping your tires in tip-top shape is important for long-term wear. Getting your tires balanced and rotated aids in longevity and serves a critical role in your safety while driving. Below, we will go over why each is important and when we recommend you have these services done.

The Importance of Rotating and Balancing

• Rotation – The act of rotating your tires is moving your tires to different positions than where they have been for an amount of time. This will help to ensure even tire wear because each tire wears differently based on which position it has been in. This also allows for less stress on your tires overall and can even improve your fuel economy. We recommend having your tires rotated every 5,000 miles.

• Balancing – Tire balancing means properly distributing weights on your tires to ensure balance. Various factors, like uneven tire pressure or road conditions, can throw off the weight distribution of your wheels. You can tell if your tires need balancing if you experience shaky driving or annoying vibrations. We recommend getting them done if you notice these problems while driving. You can expect a better driving experience when you have your tires balanced!
