A tire rotation involves swapping your tires to different positions to ensure even wear. When your tires wear evenly, it will improve your Lexus’ overall handling and increase your tires’ life. Below is a list of the benefits you’ll reap when regularly rotating your vehicle’s tires at your Lexus dealer in Greenwich, CT.
Your Tires Will Wear Down Evenly
Your car’s front and rear tires wear down differently because of their functions. The front tires on front-wheel-drive vehicles are used for acceleration, turning, and braking and wear down faster than the rear tires. If you swap your car’s tires to different positions regularly, the tires will wear down at the same rate and more evenly.
Your Tires Will Last Longer
If you follow the factory-recommended rotation intervals as set out in your service schedule, we guarantee that you will not have to purchase new tires as often. If the tires are switched around at regular intervals, and all four tires wear down evenly, they will last longer.
You Will Save Money
Tires are expensive, and with regular rotations, you will get more life out of each of your four tires. When your front and rear tires wear down evenly, and at the same rate, you won’t have to purchase new tires as often, saving you a lot of money in the long run.
You’ll Increase Your Vehicle’s Performance
Tires that wear evenly ensure that your vehicle performs better. When the tread wears down differently on all the tires, you will feel vibrations through the steering wheel at speeds higher than 45 miles an hour. Over time the vibrations can affect your wheel alignment and balancing and even cause damage to components. If you ask your Lexus technician to rotate your car’s tires regularly, it will reduce uneven wear and limit vibrations.
You Will Increase Your Safety on the Road
When the tread wear is even across all four tires, your car will have better traction, improving your car’s overall performance and your safety on the road. If the tread is uniform, it will enhance your vehicle’s cornering and braking performance and stopping distance, especially in inclement weather conditions when the roads are slippery and you need that extra grip.
Your Tires Will Be Thoroughly Inspected With Every Rotation
The Lexus technician will perform a thorough tire inspection with every rotation. The technician will check the tread depth on each tire and inspect the tires for wear and damage, such as cuts, cracks, and bulges. Your tires will also be inflated to the correct pressure levels, promoting even wear.
If you switch your car’s tires around regularly, your tires will last longer, saving you a ton of cash. A rotation is recommended every 5,000 to 8,000 miles depending on the type of vehicle you drive and your tires. Check your vehicle’s owner’s manual for the recommended rotation intervals for your specific model, or ask your Lexus technician for more information.
