What happens during a tire rotation?

Tire rotation involves changing the position of the vehicle’s tires, which helps to ensure the tread wears evenly. Depending on the type of vehicle you drive, the rotation pattern can vary from one car to another. While your car’s in the shop, our service technicians will also check your tire pressure and inspect the tires for signs of damage. Our customers appreciate the extra peace of mind.

 

  • Forward Cross: Front-wheel-drive cars typically use a forward cross pattern. To reduce tread wear, the front tires are placed on the rear of the vehicle. The rear tires are moved to the front and placed on opposite sides.

  • X-pattern: This is an alternate pattern for front-wheel-drive vehicles. While it's similar to a forward cross pattern, the front tires also move to the other sides.

  • Rearward cross: If you own a rear-wheel-drive vehicle, it will require rearward cross tire rotation. While the rear tires move straight to the front, the front tires move to the rear and switch sides. This same pattern also applies to most four-wheel-drive models.

 

What will happen if I neglect tire rotation?

Failure to have your car’s tires rotated according to the schedule recommended by the manufacturer will cause your tires to wear out much sooner than expected, and it can even void the warranty. Getting this valuable service can save you a lot of money in the long run. A new set of tires can cost more than $400, while high-performance tires are even more expensive. Tire rotation also gives the service technician an opportunity to check for potential damage, including punctures and cracks.

Unevenly worn tires can be a serious safety hazard. They may cause your vehicle to pull to the side and handle poorly. During emergencies, you won’t have nearly as much control. This means there’s a greater chance you’ll be involved in an accident.
