If you recently bought your first car from us, you might have a few questions about maintenance needs. So, let us answer a couple of your inquiries about tire rotations here at Larry H. Miller Ford Draper.

Why is a Tire Rotation So Important?

A routine tire rotation preserves the lifespan of your tires by ensuring that they all wear down at the same rate. If you drive a Ford with front-wheel or rear-wheel drive, then the tires which provide acceleration and direction tend to wear down the fastest. Similar to a head coach of a sports team subbing out different players, a tire rotation allows the main directional tires to rest easy while the non-directional tires step up and take over the heavy lifting.

When Should You Schedule a Tire Rotation?

Typically, we recommend a tire rotation once every 6,000 miles. However, if you regularly drive on more aggressive terrain, you may wish to consider a tire rotation sooner to prevent premature deflating and hazards.

When Should Your Tires be Completely Replaced?

When you properly rotate your tires, they should last up to 20,000-25,000 miles. However, you should remain alert of your tire's health by testing their traction every so often with a coin. You should also routinely check their pressure. If the tires tend to lose pressure more easily or provide less than standard traction, you should schedule an appointment to replace all of your tires.
