Tire Rotation in Grand Junction, CO

Owning a vehicle comes with a lot of responsibility. In addition to paying for it, the driver has to have car insurance and keep up with the vehicle’s recommended maintenance schedule to keep it running in tip-top shape. The tires are one component that must be upkept to operate as best they can, and having tires rotated is a key step to doing so.

The tire rotation interval may vary by make and model, but the manufacturer’s recommended service schedule is listed in each vehicle’s owner’s manual. However, typically tires should be rotated every 5,000 miles to ensure that the tire tread wears evenly over time. Does your vehicle need to have its tires rotated? Schedule a service appointment with the trusted professionals at Carville’s Auto Mart in Grand Junction, CO today.

What happens if I don’t have my vehicle’s tires rotated?

As we mentioned above, tire rotations are a very important service for every vehicle. It is no surprise that the tires carry the weight of the vehicle, but front tires may carry more weight than rear tires because most vehicles have front mounted engines. Additionally, the front tires in front-wheel drive vehicles receive more heavy tread wear because they handle the drivetrain and steering. For this reason, front and rear tires should be rotated regularly to ensure that tire tread wears evenly.
