Maintaining your Toyota involves more than oil changes and brake service. Having your vehicle's tires rotated regularly is also essential. Tire rotations provide many benefits that help keep your Toyota running safely and efficiently.
What is a Tire Rotation?
A tire rotation involves moving the tires to different positions on the vehicle. The front tires are moved to the back, and the back tires are moved to the front. Depending on the tire tread pattern, the tires may also switch sides. The main purpose is to ensure the tires wear evenly over time.
Even tire wear is important for maintaining optimal traction and handling. Tires that are more worn on one edge than the other can cause the vehicle to pull to one side or vibrate at higher speeds. Uneven wear also means you'll need to replace the tires sooner.
Tire rotations have other benefits too. Properly rotated tires tend to last longer, saving you money in the long run. Even tread wear also contributes to better gas mileage. Most manufacturers recommend rotating the tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or at the interval specified in your owner's manual.
