We’re stating the obvious, but you aren’t going very far without working tires. If you want to be able to explore the Maple Shade, Moorestown, and Cherry Hill roadways, it’s best to have a tire rotation completed as explained in your owner’s manual.
A tire rotation is a valuable maintenance item––and an essential one, too. The Elite Acura team will perform a tire rotation for you, so you’re able to get back on the road and enjoy what’s next. How often should you rotate your tires? Let’s take a closer look.
We’re glad you asked. A tire rotation is important, because it ensures your vehicle can produce the best possible fuel economy, helps you get the most out of your tires in terms of even wear, and delivers a safe drive. Yes, a tire rotation is needed.
Generally, a manufacturer will require a tire rotation every 7,500 miles, which is the case for most new cars. You may have an older vehicle that requires a tire rotation every 5,000 miles––it’s best to follow the owner’s manual in this case. This can be completed along with an oil change at our dealership.
Why does a tire rotation need to be completed? The tires on the front of the car are applying the power to the road. If you pilot a front-wheel drive car, when you factor in the heavy-duty nature of the engine and transmission, the front tires are doing the heavy lifting. When rotating tires between front and back, they’ll wear more evenly.
The most common tire pattern moves front tires to the rear, and rear to the front, with the latter being crisscrossed. For instance, the right rear tire comes to the left front wheel. We’ll follow your manufacturer’s instructions during any tire rotation.
Rotating the tires can extend the life of your tires. It also improves overall performance. If the tires sit on the same wheels without being rotated, the outside part of the front tires will wear down sooner. When rotating the tires, we’ll check the pressure in each one and make sure you’re ready for the road ahead.
