Tire rotation and alignment are two critical maintenance tasks that can help extend the life of your tires, improve your car’s handling and performance, and save you money on costly repairs down the road. Here’s why these services are so important:
Tire Rotation:
Over time, the tires on your car wear unevenly due to differences in weight distribution and driving habits. This can lead to uneven tread wear, which can affect your car’s handling, fuel efficiency, and safety. Regular tire rotation helps ensure that your tires wear evenly, which can improve their overall lifespan and performance. This involves moving your tires from one position on your car to another, typically from front to back or side to side. This helps distribute the wear more evenly, so your tires last longer and perform better.
Tire Alignment:
Tire alignment refers to the angle and direction of your tires in relation to your car and the road. Proper alignment ensures that your car handles correctly, drives straight, and has consistent tire wear. If your tires are misaligned, it can lead to uneven tire wear, poor handling, and decreased fuel efficiency. Over time, misaligned tires can also cause more serious problems, such as suspension damage, wheel bearing wear, and steering system issues. Regular tire alignment helps prevent these issues and can save you money on costly repairs down the road.
