What Does Tire Rotation Involve?

As you might have guessed, tire rotation involves rotating your vehicle’s tires into different positions, but this isn’t done at random. Most Honda tire rotation jobs will involve:

• Moving the tires at the front to the wheels at the back.
• Moving the tires at the back to the wheels at the front.
• Moving the tires on the right to the wheels on the left.
• Moving the tires on the left to the wheels on the right.

Easy enough to understand, but why is tire rotation something that even needs to happen?

Why is Tire Rotation Necessary?

Tire rotation is all about minimizing uneven tire wear. You might not realize it, but some tires take more strain than others during each drive around Birmingham Area. For example, your front tires usually take more strain than those at the rear. This means those tires will wear down faster than the others, which can result in:

• Blowouts and Flats
• Lack of Traction
• Falling Efficiency Scores
• More Regular Tire Replacements

How Can You Tell Your Tires Need Rotating?

As mentioned above, tire rotations aren’t generally something you’ll need to worry about since they’re taken care of during routine servicing. However, just a few signs your tires might need rotating sooner include:

• Unexplained vibrations
• Visibly uneven wear
• Unexplained air pressure loss in one wheel
• Needing to add gas more often
