Unsure of the importance of rotating your tires? While it may seem like yet another pesky maintenance task, rotating your tires is quite important to keep your drives on the Tampa roads safe. Learn more with the Cox Chevrolet Service Department!

Why Rotate Your Tires?

Tires typically wear unevenly, with the front tires wearing out more than the rear tires. That’s because the outer edges are more affected by turns and cornering than the rear tires are. So, leaving your tires in place means that the front tires will wear down much more quickly than those in back, and you’ll end up having to replace the tires entirely much sooner than you would otherwise. Benefits of tire rotation include:

  • Preventing uneven wear
  • Allowing for a smoother ride and safer handling
  • Extending the overall life of your tires

When to Rotate Your Tires

How often you should rotate your tires depends on your specific vehicle, so make sure to check your owner’s manual. A good rule of thumb is to have your tires rotated every time that you go in for an oil change around Palmetto.
