Mark from Chevrolet explains why tire rotation is so important. Though you would think all of your tire treads would wear down at the same rate, they actually wear faster in certain places.
Generally, the wheels receiving power wear out faster-- particularly if you like to peel out, making tire squeal and smoke. Even if you drive conservatively, however, uneven wear is a natural fact of tire aging. On a front-wheel drive vehicle, your front tires will wear faster. The reverse goes for a rear-wheel drive vehicle, like many of our German brands favor, BMW and Mercedes-Benz.
Whatever your drivetrain, your tires will last longer, and be safer, if you have them rotated every 7,500 miles. This is a great time to come in for a general service appointment, as 7,500 miles is also the recommended length between oil changes and brake inspection on most cars.
We hope to see you soon at Autobahn USA.
