In this article we’ll go over the specifics of tire rotations for your car.  We’ll touch on why it’s important, how often it should be done, and answer the question of where is the best place to get a tire rotation in Platteville.

The reason why it’s important is to get maximum tread life on all four of your tires.  Rotating the tires helps to prevent one tire from getting more wear than any of the others and ultimately creates a more even tire wear over the life of a set of tires.  Rotating your tires on a regular interval helps even out the wear from side to side.  It ultimately extends the life of your tires and also allows you as the driver to get the maximum amount of performance out of them.

 
You typically want to rotate the tires every 5000 to 6000 miles or at every oil change which is also regular maintenance. 

Now you could rotate your tires by yourself with the help of a jack, a couple of jack stands, an impact wrench, and a torque wrench.  But most people who are not do-it-yourselfers generally bring their car into Runde’s to have our service techs do it as a routine maintenance request.  

If you are going to do it yourself, we recommend you consult your owner’s manual before doing so.  Typically speaking, rotating your tires is pretty straightforward.  You take off the tire and move it to another side of the car, but there are specific patters that dictate where you should move that tire depending on your vehicle.    Your vehicle owner’s manual will be able to guide you through this so you are following the correct rotation pattern.
