Did you know if you buy a set a tires and never bother to rotate them, your front tires will last around 15,000 miles? And your rear tires should last at least 45,000 miles?

This means you can replace your front tires 3 TIMES before your rear tires wear out. That's expensive!

Why your front tires usually wear out faster All of those three-point turns, right turns, u-turns and parallel parking put a lot of pressure on your front tires. If you have a front-wheel drive car, the turns cause more friction and heat, which wear down the tires even faster than the rears.

How to make your tires last up to 3X longer Because your front tires bear so much burden, you should rotate your tires from front-to-rear several times during their life cycle.

This lets all four tires wear evenly, which can:

• Increase gas mileage
• Improve ride comfort
• Give you maximum life for each tire
• Improve handling during sudden stops or turns

 

How often should I rotate my tires? With new car engineering and tire technology, you can sometimes wait up to 5,000 miles between rotations. Your car owner's manual will tell you what's best.

Here's the easiest way to make sure it's done timely: Rotate your tires every time you get an oil change. That's every 3,500 – 5,000 miles on most vehicles.

This way, you can get both done in one convenient stop.

And if you come Monday-Friday between 2-5 pm, our certified mechanics will change your oil and rotate your tires for only $25!
