If you know anything about proper Ford maintenance, you likely know that tire rotation is one of the most important types of car service. But do you know why it is necessary? Simply put, tire rotation is repositioning your vehicle’s tires in specific patterns from front to back or side to side, and it should be completed as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
Tire rotation is one of the most frequently performed types of maintenance at Bill Colwell Ford, and our mechanics are happy to explain why it is necessary.
What is Tire Rotation?
Before going into why tire rotation is important, we should first explain what exactly this type of Ford service entails. When tires are rotated, our mechanics change the position of each tire on your vehicle. A brief guideline is that tires should be rotated every 5,000 miles, but you can check your owner’s manual for a more precise recommendation.
Why is Tire Rotation Important?
Tire rotation is an important type of Ford service for a number of different reasons. First, when you routinely rotate your tires, wear is spread evenly across all four tires. This maximizes tread life because each specific position on your vehicle requires a different give from each tire.
Second, when your tires have even tread wear, it keeps the tread depth on all four tires uniform. This helps keep handling and traction consistent across all four tires.
