What exactly is a tire rotation?
No question is too silly, and it makes sense that you might not know what a tire rotation even is. For the most part, the name explains what exactly is going on here. This simply means that the front tires are shifted to the back, while also flipping the sides that they are on. This might change depending on the owner’s manual, which should always be consulted and trusted in every area of your vehicle’s maintenance. Either way, the tires are being shifted around your vehicle to help promote a more even wear, which in the end, saves you from buying tires more often than you might like otherwise.
Does the drivetrain change how often you need a tire rotation?
This question has a varying answer, but it is important to note that you will always need a tire rotation, regardless of your vehicle’s drivetrain. However, with that said, the wear on your tires does change depending on whether you have FWD, RWD, or AWD/4WD. Front-wheel drive machines will have their front tires wear on the edges where the turns are happening, while rear-wheel drive models have a more even wear all around. When it comes to AWD/4WD, the wear can happen in unique patterns, especially if you are going off-roading at any point. In the end, always check your owner’s manual!
Why are is getting a tire rotation important?
We’ve arrived at the crux of the issue. Getting your tires rotated makes sure that any uneven wear you have on your tires, all based on your drivetrain, is able to be off-set. This means that your tires will not have any bald spots in strange places, and will enable you to keep your tires for a longer period of time. What this does, in the end, is save you money, just by a simple switching around of your tires to promote even tread.
