a different type of tire wear, which depends on many aspects. One is the drive train your
vehicle has; FWD, RWD, AWD, or 4WD. Another is how you drive your car. For example, someone who drives on the highway can experience a different type of tire wear than someone who does more local driving.
There are different processes when going into tire rotations for FWD, RWD, AWD, and 4WD vehicles which all follow a different pattern so to say. Our technicians are trained to provide the proper rotation procedure for your particular vehicle.
Besides maintaining the tread wear on your tires, a tire rotation is important to extend the life of your tires, which will ultimately help you save money. For example, if you drive a front wheel drive vehicle and do not rotate your tires, you will see significant wear on your front tires and not the rears. As long as you stay on top of properly rotating your tires, the tread will wear evenly, keeping you and your vehicle safe. Also when driving on tires with an uneven tread you may hear a very annoying sound and feel a vibration, this is called tread cupping.
Here at Jerry Noonan’s Auto Center, we recommend that you get your tires rotated at an oil change service. So for a vehicle that takes conventional oil, you would have the tires rotated every 6,000 miles, that being every other oil change. For a vehicle that takes synthetic oil, the tires should be rotated every 5,000 miles, so that would be every oil change. When you come in for an oil change service please mention that you would like to have your tires rotated as well and we will take care of this for you. If you would like to make an appointment for an oil change and tire rotation or just a tire rotation, please call us at (609)-655-2886. See you soon!
