Happy Motoring
In these cases, Burrows suggests having your tires rotated at 5,000 miles. Why Do It? At this point, you may be wondering why you even need to be spending this much time on tire rotation. Well, for one thing, it’s safer. Burrows agrees, saying, “Safety is definitely an issue if you don’t rotate your tires. If you have balder tires on the front, you are at risk of losing control of the steering and getting into an accident.” By rotating your tires, your vehicle’s braking will be more even, thus more effective; and the handling will be more balanced.
Things you’ll notice as soon as those tires get moved around. Evenly worn tires also equate to a smoother ride, with increased traction and better gas mileage. With all your tires wearing down at the same rate, you’ll be able to purchase a new set of four when the time comes instead of going in for the front tires, followed by another visit to buy new rear tires. Essentially, it makes the buying process a less frequent affair. Combine that with the result of a more efficient ride and tire rotation should sit permanently on your car maintenance checklist, no matter how dull it can be to contemplate.
