OUR TIRE ROTATION AND BALANCE PROCESS
When you want tires to last longer, you’ll love our tire rotation and balancing process. First, we’ll determine if your tires need to be rotated. To do this, we’ll perform a full inspection of each wheel and then switch the front tires with the back set while also rotating the left side to the right side and vice versa.
Then we’ll use specialized equipment to check the weight and balance of each wheel, adding small weights to the inside of your rims wherever corrections are needed.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD TIRES BE BALANCED?
For safety reasons, tire manufacturers typically recommend having your tires balanced and rotated each time your vehicle travels a distance of approximately 7,000 miles. This is because tire treads tend to wear away much faster when they’re at the front of a car than when placed on the back.
When you have traction at the front, you have more control over your car and are guaranteed a much safer ride. Reach our experts to discuss the specifics of your vehicle’s requirements with a certified expert.
