Tire rotations are essential to routine vehicle maintenance that help maximize tire life, improve performance, and keep you safer on the road. At Schumacher Subaru of Delray, we're committed to helping Subaru owners keep their vehicles running smoothly in the Delray Beach area. This blog post will explain tire rotations, how they benefit your Subaru, and why you should get them done regularly.
What Are Tire Rotations?
A tire rotation is moving your vehicle's tires from one position to another in a specific pattern. The front tires are moved to the rear, while the rear tires are moved to the front. Depending on your vehicle, the tires may also be switched from one side to the other. The purpose is to ensure that all four tires wear evenly over time.
The Benefits of Regular Tire Rotations
There are several key benefits to getting your Subaru's tires rotated regularly:
- Even tread wear - Rotating the tires helps all four tires wear down more evenly. This prevents uneven or rapid wear on certain tires.
- Longer tire life - With even tread wear, your tires will last longer before needing to be replaced.
- Better traction and handling - Tires with even tread provide better road grip and more predictable handling and braking.
- Smoother ride - Properly rotated tires help ensure a smoother and more balanced ride.
