Tire Rotation at Benson Alfa Romeo in Greer, South Carolina

Why a Tire Rotation is Important

Moving the position of the tires to different locations on the car, such as the front axle tires to the rear axle and vice versa, can help avoid uneven wear and tear on your tires that can cause weak spots, decrease your tread, reduce traction, or even shorten the lifespan of your tires, costing you more money in the long run.

When You Should Get a Tire Rotation

As a part of your routine maintenance schedule, you should be getting a tire rotation every 5,000 to 8,000 miles or however frequently your vehicle manufacturer recommends in your Owner's Manual.

Indicators that it might be time for a tire rotation include noticeably uneven tread wear, unexpected loss of tire pressure, or unusual vibrations when driving at higher speeds, such as on the highway.

The Tire Rotation Process

Steps 1

A certified technician will start by assessing and removing your tires. They will also determine what the ideal tire rotation pattern is for your vehicle, impacted by the drivetrain, the number and size of the wheels, and tire wear.

Steps 2

The technician will replace the tires in the new locations according to the tire rotation pattern selected.

Steps 3

You are ready to drive for another 5,000 to 8,000 miles!
