What is the Tire Rotation Service?

In tire rotation service, the wheels and tires are removed and reinstalled at a different position on the vehicle. The purpose of tire rotation is to allow the tire to have even tread wear. Certain tires are only meant to be used in certain positions such as the front axle and should not be rotated to the rear axle. An experienced and qualified technician will determine the ideal tire rotation pattern based on the type of tire and vehicle.

What Are the Benefits of a Tire Rotation?

It also helps maximize the life of the tires. Tire vibrations and noise is also reduced, providing a comfortable ride for the passengers. Certain tire manufacturers require period tire rotation for the validity of the tire warranty. You can check your tires' warranty policy to make sure you are following the required service interval.

How Often Should You Get Tire Rotation?

At Beyer Volkswagen, we recommend that you have tire rotation service at least once a year or 10,000 miles, whichever comes first. Several factors play a role in how often you would need tire rotation service. These factors include the type of vehicle, driving conditions, and type of tires. Certain kinds of tires such as tires with deep tread or winter tires might be more susceptible to tread wear and might require more frequent tire rotation service.
