Frequently Asked Questions
When should I rotate my tires?
Most vehicles benefit from tire rotation every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, although you should always follow your manufacturer’s maintenance schedule. A great rule of thumb is to have them rotated during every other oil change to ensure the tread wears evenly across all four tires.
What is the difference between tire balancing and an alignment?
Balancing ensures weight is distributed equally around the tire and wheel assembly to prevent vibrations. An alignment adjusts the vehicle’s suspension components so the tires meet the road at the exact correct angles.
Do AWD vehicles really need tire rotations?
Absolutely. All-Wheel Drive (AWD) systems require all four tires to have nearly identical tread depths. Failing to rotate them can cause uneven wear, which forces the drivetrain to work harder and can severely damage your transfer case.
