Tire rotation is a maintenance item that helps prevent uneven tire wear. Depending on your specific driving methods and type of vehicle, your tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 6,000 miles. That’s why at Team Ryan Automotive, we rotate your tires with every oil change service. When tires are rotated regularly it extends their life on your vehicle which in turn saves you money.
Tires are the connection between the road surface and your vehicle. This is exactly "where the rubber meets the road." A critical part of your vehicle’s suspension system, tires are responsible for transmitting the forces of driving, steering, and braking to the surface of the road. Although tires are easily maintained, they are often overlooked. The air inside your tires and the design of the tire influence vehicle performance, tire tread life, and ride comfort. Tire maintenance is vital for getting the most out of your tires by maximizing mileage and tread wear. Our staff will help you understand the basics of tire care and maintenance, like when you should seek tire rotation, balance, and alignment. Our staff will also help you understand tire sidewall markings, teach you the best time to purchase a new set of tires, and help you choose the right set of replacement tires for your vehicle.

Tire rotations increase the life of your tires, reducing the risk of blowouts and hydroplaning. Increased tread wear can cause a dangerous driving environment. To decrease the risk of uneven tire wear, tire rotations are crucial.
Here are some signs that your tires may be in need of some maintenance or rotation:
Premature and accelerated tire wear are caused by improper or lack of tire rotation and poor tire inflation levels. Whereas correctly inflated tires tend to have durable sidewalls, underinflated tires often have flexible sidewalls that result in quicker sidewall wear. Overinflated tires are also undesirable and will result in excessive center tread wear. Wheel balancing has the potential to relieve some symptoms of improper tire wear, like excessive lean. However, improper tire wear may also be the cause of alignment issues. During any tire repair service, our staff will be able to determine whether a tire balancing or rotation service can solve your current set of issues. Because tire inflation is so important, our staff will take care to follow the inflation standards recommended by the manufacturer during a new tire installation. Overall, proper tire inflation can lead to reduced tread movement, increased water dissipation, reduced rolling resistance, proper traction, and adequate load carrying capabilities. Our tire service work promotes better fuel economy and longer tread life.
Tire rotations and service are vital to your vehicle’s life and safety. Team Ryan Automotive has the proper tools and technology to offer quick and comprehensive diagnostics and inspections. We have a targeted approach when it comes to finding the issue with steering and suspension, and our ASE-certified technicians are determined to fix the problem as quickly as possible.
Does Tire Rotation Mess Up Alignment?
Tire rotation does not mess up alignment. In fact, rotating your tires is recommended for your car’s performance and safety.
How Often Should Tires Be Rotated?
Depending on your car and driving style, tire rotation should occur every 5,000 to 7,000 miles. Take a look at your manufacturer’s manual for when they recommend you should rotate your tires.
Are Tire Rotations Worth It?
They absolutely are. Tire rotations will help even your tread wear, increasing the life of tires and the overall performance.
How Long Is A Tire’s Lifetime?
It depends on a lot of factors. Typically, a tire will last for about four to five years. However, this depends on the vehicle, driving conditions, and the manufacturer as well.
So, it is recommended that you change your tires around every 60,000 to 75,000 miles.
What Causes The Most Tire Wear?
Uneven tire wear is caused from overinflation or underinflation. It could also be caused from poor alignment and worn suspension.
Computerized Wheel Balancing
Professionals use computerized wheel balancers to pinpoint weight differentiation within a tire and wheel assembly.
Tire Purchase & Tire Installation
When tires are completely worn or unable to meet a driver’s needs, the tire purchasing and installation process usually follows.
Tire Repair
There are many hazards that can make tires less effective and more of a danger to drivers and passengers.
