The tire rotation service is a preventive maintenance practice in which the positions of a vehicle’s tires are changed to ensure even wear. This is important because tires, being subjected to different forces such as steering and the weight of the vehicle, can wear unevenly if not rotated regularly.

Benefits of Tire Rotation:

Even wear: It helps the tires wear more evenly, which can extend their lifespan.
Better performance and safety: Unevenly worn tires can affect vehicle stability and control, especially in wet or slippery conditions.
Better fuel efficiency: Properly aligned and rotated tires can improve fuel efficiency by ensuring proper contact with the road.
Long-term savings: Regular tire rotation can prevent the need for early tire replacement, reducing long-term costs.

How often should it be done?

Generally, it is recommended to rotate tires every 8,000 to 10,000 kilometers, although this may vary depending on the type of vehicle and the manufacturer’s recommendations.
