A tire rotation involves switching the front tires with the rear tires to ensure even wear and extend the life of your tires.
With the engine in front, the front tires wear out faster due to the additional weight.
In a front-wheel drive vehicle, the front tires wear even faster as they handle both the weight and engine power.
The rotation pattern varies based on your vehicle's drivetrain. For front-wheel drive cars, the front tires move to the rear without switching sides, while the rear tires move to the front and switch sides.
Benefits of Regular Tire Rotations:
Helps with Traction – Prevents uneven tire wear, ensuring all four tires have equal traction.
Protects Against Blowouts – Even tire wear reduces the risk of blowouts.
Smoother Ride – Even wear improves the tire's ability to absorb road imperfections, leading to a smoother ride.
Maintains Efficiency – Evenly worn tires reduce drag and strain on the engine, improving fuel efficiency.
