Auto Mechanic Woodbury | The Importance Of Regular Tire Rotation

posted on

Auto Mechanic Woodbury

There are a number of things that vehicle owners and operators must consider when maintaining their vehicles, and one of those important considerations is tire maintenance. One way to extend the life of your tires and keep them functioning safely is ensuring your automobile gets regular tire rotations. Neglecting frequent tire rotations can be dangerous for your vehicle, as well as for you and your passengers. Here are three potential ramifications when your tires aren’t rotated regularly:

A Not-So-Smooth Ride

Have you ever noticed your vehicle pulling to one side or the other while driving? This may be because your tires have worn down so much that they are losing significant amounts of air pressure. When you notice that your TPMS service light is on, it usually means that your tires are under-inflated. In order to prevent a significant drop in air pressure and uneven wear on your tires, make sure your vehicle is serviced for proper and frequent tire rotation. Frequent tire rotation will also help your vehicle’s fuel economy and will save you money in the long run when you don’t have to purchase tires as often as you would without frequent tire rotation. 

Poor Traction On The Road

When tires have minimal tread due to a lack of tire maintenance and rotation, this leads to poor traction on the road. Poor traction leaves the vehicle more susceptible to hydroplaning on wet roads and sliding around on the snow and ice during the cold months of the year. Braking and steering are both negatively impacted by lack of tire tread and low tire pressure, which can impact how your vehicle rides and the amount of control you have when driving your vehicle. With poor traction, your vehicle is at risk for a number of hazards. But, with frequent tire rotation, these hazards significantly decrease due to more tire traction, adequate amounts of air pressure within the tires, and better vehicle controllability. 

Risk Tire Blowouts

One dangerous (and unfortunately, potentially life-threatening) consequence of not rotating your tires is risking a tire blowout. After so long without a tire rotation, the tires naturally lose their tread. This is also known as tire balding. Tires with significantly reduced tread leave the tires more susceptible to a puncture from an object on the road (such as nails or other construction zone hazards, sharp rocks, or other random objects). Having a lack of tread has a number of negative consequences such as a flat tire or a complete tire blowout. A tire without tread is at risk of completely giving out on its own due to the amount of wear or strain on the tires, or lack of air within the tires.


Regularly rotating your tires helps significantly extend the life of your tires and helps your vehicle ride more smoothly and safely. Tire rotation is recommended approximately every 6,000 miles, but this may depend on a number of factors such as your driving habits, traveled areas, and time between tire rotations. Check out our car care tips to help ensure you’re making the right considerations and staying on top of your vehicle’s maintenance. Tire Pros is available to help ensure your tires are safe to remain on the road, and help you get where you need to be.
