Tire Rotation Service

Rotating Your Tires for Better Performance & Longevity

Though many of our customers understandably don’t give a lot of thought to their tires, your tires are a very important part of your vehicle, literally where the rubber meets the road, and proper care of your tires can both extend their life and also help keep you safe on the road. The reason tires should be regularly rotated, at least every 5,000 miles, is because whether your vehicle is a two-wheel drive, front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, or four-wheel drive, the tires wear at different rates. The tires that are powered by the engine typically wear faster.

Also, the front wheels have to withstand turning and braking pressures the back tires do not. That is why rotating your tires helps to preserve tire life, by equally distributing the wear and stress to all four tires. This also gives our certified Toyota technicians a chance to examine the wheels and tires for any rim damage, blisters in the tires, or cupping on the tires. These issues can arise when your tire or wheel hits a curb or pothole. By diagnosing these issues early, you can save yourself from a blowout or flat tire that can lead to a dangerous accident. So make sure you ask our technicians to rotate your tires at your next oil change at Sierra Toyota!
