Why Tire Rotation is Important
Written by Pearson Hyundai
As many of you are probably aware, tires play an essential role in keeping you in control of your vehicle. Tires help with the cushioning of your car, grip the road during rainy days or sunny days, and help you stop when you need it. All of this adds up to why you need to keep your tires in tip-top shape. One of the best ways to keep your tires working is to get them rotated. In this article, we are going to go over why getting a regular tire rotation is essential so that the next time you head to Pearson Hyundai, you can make sure to ask for one! It will help your Hyundai live a long and happy life.
Why Rotate Your Tires
Rotating your tires can help preserve balanced handling and help maintain traction when driving down the highway. Tire rotation is especially important during rainy or slippery conditions. Additionally, a lot of tire manufacturers require drivers to get a regular tire rotation to keep the tire warranties valid. When you purchase your tires at Pearson Hyundai, we'll rotate them for as long as you own your Hyundai. Finally, rotating your tires helps to even out the wear on your tires. When you allow your tires to work in each of the Hyundai's four positions, you'll have even wear across all four of your tires and prolong your tire's life.
When Should You Rotate Your Tires
Pearson Hyundai recommends that you should rotate your tires every 6,000 to 8,000 miles, even if you see no signs of wear. Rotating your tires is best performed when your Hyundai is off the ground, so you should have it done when you go to Pearson for an oil change. While your Hyundai is on the lift, we can also inspect your tires for any sense of damage and uneven wear. We will also check your tire pressure and overall tread depth, and get rid of any stones or debris from in between each of the individual treads.
Tire Facts
In the best-case scenario, all four of your tires will wear evenly, allowing then to respond quickly to driver input. Unfortunately, when all of your tires wear out together, you'll need to replace them with a brand new set of tires, but it is better than buying them individually or in pairs. By replacing all of your tires at the same time, your Hyundai maintains the original handling balance. Additionally, the manufacturer of your tires is continually updating your tires. By replacing them four at a time, you will get the full brunt of the tire technology, instead of merely settling for an inconsistent ride.
Tire Rotation Patterns
The rotation pattern that is best for your Tuscon will depend on the type of tire that you're using and whether your Hyundai is using front, rear, or all-wheel-drive. Other factors include whether your tires are directional or non-directional and whether or not your tires are the same size on the front and back of your Hyundai and if you have a full-size spare or not. If you do have a spare, you should consider getting the extra rotated as well, unlike a temporary spare that doesn't need to be rotated most of the time. Typical rotation patterns include a rearward cross, x-pattern, or forward cross.
