Tire Rotation

Rotating your vehicles tires periodically is an essential part of tire maintenance. The main purpose of regularly rotating tires is to help achieve more uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. As a general rule, tires at least every 6,000 miles and follow one of the patterns suggested below:

However, tires should be rotated earlier if irregular or uneven wear develops. Keep in mind that a hard impact such as hitting a pothole can cause misalignment. Misalignment is one of the most common causes of uneven and irregular tire wear. Irregular or uneven wear may also be an indication of a mechanical problem. If you notice unusual tire wear stop by your local Gateway Tire for an alignment inspection.
