TPMS:
Tire rotation
refers to the movement of tires to different positions on the vehicle to
equalize tread wear and is critical to gain the maximum life from your
tire investment. Because each tire on your car supports a different
amount of weight, your tires can wear at different rates. By rotating
your tires, you can extend their useful life. In addition, tires that
are not rotated regularly could potentially void the manufacturer
warranty.
You should
always refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for the recommended time
between rotations. If no rotation interval is specified, your tires
should be rotated approximately every 6,000 miles (about every two oil
changes)..
If your tires
show signs of irregular or uneven tread wear, bring your vehicle in to have one of our service technicians
locate the cause of the wear problem.
Keep in mind that sometimes the front and rear tires on a vehicle may
use different pressures. After a rotation is performed, we will adjust
the individual pressure to the figures recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer (based upon each tires new position on the vehicle).
Our expert technicians will not only rotate your tires, but will fully
inspect your tires to make the right recommendations concerning repair
or replacement if needed. Our tire rotation service includes:
-
Checking
tire pressure
-
Carefully
inspecting tires to identify visible damage or abnormal wear
patterns
-
Rotating
tires according to the pattern recommended by your vehicle's
manufacturer
-
Torque lug
nuts/bolts to the proper specifications
We will not only rotate your tires, but will fully inspect
your brakes and suspension to insure tire longevity and driving safety.
Sample
Rotation Patterns:
NOTE: Do not include a "Temporary Use Only" spare tire in any of the
rotation patterns shown. If you have a matching full-size tire as a
spare and wish to include it in the rotation process, use one of the
patterns shown. Insert the spare in the right rear position and place
the tire that would have gone on the right rear in the trunk as the new
spare.
Some tires cannot be rotated in the manners described including uni-directional
tires and tires with asymmetric tread designs. Also, some vehicles may
have different-sized tires mounted on the front and rear axles, and
these different-sized tires also have rotation restrictions. Check your
owner's manual for the proper rotation recommendations for these special
cases.
