Tire Rotation Service

Tire Rotation is Essential Maintenance

Tire rotation service is universally recommended by all major tire brands and auto manufacturers. The service is recommended because each tire handles different road pressures depending on its position. The front tires take more road forces when involved in steering. Front tires also carry more weight at the front axle where the engine rests. Leaving tires in the same spot leads to the areas handling additional loads to wear rapidly. Tire rotation compensates for variable load-bearing by subjecting the set to similar loads over the long run.

Recommended Tire Rotation Interval

Chevrolet recommends that drivers schedule tire rotation service every 7,500 to 10,000 miles mitigating rapid wear and improving driving comfort, safety, and tire life. You might have noticed that the recommended tire rotation interval is approximately the same as oil changes. This represents an opportunity for more efficient maintenance by scheduling oil changes and tire rotations together. We recommend checking your Chevrolet model’s routine maintenance schedule and bundling services to limit the number of trips.

Signs that Your Chevrolet Needs a Tire Rotation

Tires left in the same spot will wear rapidly in the areas handling the extra load. We recommend that drivers understand the signs of needing tire rotation and scheduling service swiftly if you notice any of these:

• Rapid wear on one or more tires
• Different wear patterns on the front and back tires
• Vibrations or shaking
• Tires losing pressure
