Everyone at Brush Valley Tire is concerned for you and your vehicle safety. The following information will help you learn more about the importance of tire rotation.
Tire
rotation is important for even tread wear and long tread life. As a tire is
driven on a road surface it begins to wear. Tire wear rarely takes place
uniformly on tires, because each tire is mounted at a different position on a
vehicle.
Front and rear, drive and non-drive tires exhibit different wear patterns. Front
tires tend to wear more rapidly in the shoulder area, because of
steering/cornering forces. Drive tires wear more rapidly in the tread center
because of drive traction forces. On front-wheel-drive cars, front tires wear
much more rapidly than rear tires. Personal driving habits and vehicle
performance characteristics also cause tires to wear differently. Rotating tires
at frequent intervals (at 6000 miles or less) tends to equalize tire wear and
minimize the progress of irregular wear.
Note: Irregular wear or excessive wear in any are of the tread may indicate tire
damage and the need for expert inspection.
When the remaining tread depth measures - 2/32î, these tires are considered to
be legally worn out and must be replaced.
Tires should be rotated at frequent and regular intervals. Tires can be rotated
conveniently during a regular oil change, which for most vehicles occurs every
5,000 to 7,500 miles. Brush Valley Tire recommends rotation every 6,000 miles or
less for optimum benefit.
There are many tire rotation patterns. Brush Valley Tire technicians will
rotate tires in accordance with the pattern required for your vehicle.
