Chevrolet Tire Rotation in WHITMAN, MA
When you turn the steering wheel of your vehicle, the front tires turn in that direction to change the direction you're traveling. This puts the most wear on the front tires while your back tires are simply following along. This means the edges of your front tires inevitably wear out faster and unevenly when compared to the rear tires. When it is time to have your tires rotated, we have the Chevrolet-specific tools, experience, and knowledge to fully restore your vehicle to exact factory specifications.
Benefits of Regular Tire Rotations
Rotating your vehicle's tires, or periodically changing their position on the vehicle from front to back and side to side, helps even out the wear on all of your tires. This comes with three main benefits:
-
Tire rotation can preserve your vehicle's balanced handling and help maintain tire traction. This is especially important when roads are slick from rain, sleet, or snow.
- Many tire manufacturers require regular rotation in order to keep your tire warranties valid.
- Rotating your tires helps even out wear on the tires themselves. By allowing every tire to work in each of the vehicle's four positions, you'll ensure they all receive the same amount and types of wear. This prolongs tire life, saving you hassle and money in the long run.
Tire Rotation Intervals for Chevrolet Vehicles
You can check your owner's manual to find the recommended tire rotation interval for your vehicle. The standard is roughly every 5,000-7,500 miles, though the actual number differs from one vehicle to another. Many technicians suggest getting your tires rotated with every other oil change, to make things easier to remember and work into your busy schedule.
You should also perform self-checks from time to time, visually inspecting your tires to ensure there's no damage or uneven wear and tear. If you see anything amiss, you should have your tires professionally inspected and rotated if necessary. Our team of expert technicians will know your vehicle inside and out. We will be able to inspect your vehicle and determine whether or not you need your tires rotated.
Don't wait to get your tires serviced. Putting it off could lead to further damage or even an accident on the road. Uneven wear can cause flats or blowouts. This puts not only your vehicle but you and your loved ones at risk. Schedule an appointment today with McLaughlin Chevrolet!
