7 Big Benefits of Getting a Tire Rotation

You may think that rotating your tires is a waste of time, but it isn’t! Your tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 7,000 miles for optimal benefits. Learn seven important reasons to visit your Mazda dealer for regular tire rotations.

1. Your Tires Will Last Longer

Your front tires wear out almost 50 percent faster than your back tires. When you rotate your tires regularly, you help the tread on them to wear more evenly. This not only negates the need for replacing your front tires more often, but it also helps all your tires last longer.

2. You Get a Safer Ride

When the tread on your tires is worn down unevenly it can create a safety hazard. Your tires may not be able to grip the road properly in wet conditions which could lead to an accident.

Uneven wear can also potentially lead to your tires being different sizes, which can affect the suspension of your vehicle and create some costly damage. For the safety of your family, and everyone on the road, ensure you get your tires rotated regularly.

3. You Feel More Comfortable When You Drive

If the tread on your tires becomes uneven it can make your car shake when it drives and can even lead to damage to your vehicle. Rotating your tires regularly ensures you always have a smooth, comfortable ride.

4. You’ll Hear Less Noise When You Drive

Unnecessary vibration can be created by uneven tread wear on your tires. If you hear a lot of excess noise, feel vibrations, and have trouble steering, even if you’re on a smooth road, chances are your tires are unevenly worn.

5. You Get Better Fuel Mileage

Uneven wear on your tires can create resistance when you drive, which can use extra fuel. Rotating your tires regularly will mean you feel less resistance when you drive, get a smoother ride, and get more time between gas tank fill-ups.

6. You Feel More in Control When You Drive

As mentioned before, tires that lose tread can slip in rainy or snowy conditions and create an uneven ride. This can affect how you steer your vehicle as well as reduce your response time in an emergency. When you regularly rotate your tires they wear out evenly and keep you in control on the road.

7. Your Mazda Dealer Will Ensure It’s Done Correctly

You must make sure your tires get rotated properly. This means your tires aren’t simply being moved back and forth on the front and/or back. Your dealer will keep track of your rotations and ensure your tires wear evenly.
