A tire rotation involves swapping each tire on your car to a different position to ensure that the tires wear down evenly. Ask the technician at your Hyundai dealer to regularly rotate your vehicle’s tires to get the best out of your tires, make them last longer, and save money.
1. Your Tires Will Last Longer
Ask your Hyundai technician to swap your car’s tires around every time you take your vehicle for an oil change to make your tires last longer. The technician will switch the tires to different positions to ensure that the tread on all four tires wears down equally and at the same rate. Check your Hyundai owner’s manual for your specific model’s oil change intervals and rotation schedule.
2. Your Tires Will Wear Evenly
The tread on each tire wears down differently due to the functions the tire performs. If you drive a front-wheel-drive car, the front tires are used for steering, turning, and braking, making them wear down faster than the rear tires. Your technician will swap the front tires straight back to the rear, cross the rear tires, and mount them to the front of your car.
Regularly switching your car’s tires will ensure that they wear down evenly, making your tires last longer. Check your owner’s manual for your car’s rotations patterns, or ask your Hyundai technician for information on rotations.
3. You Will Save Money
Regular rotations will ensure even wear across all four tires, and because the tires are wearing at the same rate, they last longer. This means you won’t have to replace your tires as often, saving you heaps of cash in the long run.
4. Your Will Feel Fewer Vibrations
When your car’s tires wear unevenly, it could cause vibrations that you will feel through the steering wheel. Over time the vibrations will affect your car’s wheel alignment and balancing and could cause damage to vehicle components. Regularly switching your tires will ensure even wear across all the tires, reducing vibrations and providing a much smoother ride.
5. You’ll Be Safer on the Road
Swapping your car’s tires around will keep the tread depth on the tires the same for extra grip when accelerating, braking, and cornering. Increased traction will improve your vehicle’s overall handling capabilities and performance, especially on wet and slippery road surfaces, ensuring your safety on the road.
6. Your Tires Will Be Inspected Often
The Hyundai technician will rotate the tires and perform a thorough tire inspection when taking your car for an oil change. The technician will check the tread depth on each tire, inspect the tires for damage such as cuts, cracks, and bulges, and inflate the tires to the correct tire pressure levels. Always inflate your car’s tires to the proper PSI to ensure even wear, prolong the life of your tires, and save money on gas.
Swapping your car’s tires saves you money, ensures your safety, and increases your car’s handling and performance on the road. Visit Crain Hyundai of Little Rock today for a rotation.
