Benefits of Rotating Your Tires

At Hamilton Honda, we can ensure that your Honda is operating at its peak performance. The purpose of getting your tires rotated regularly cn be a little unclear. To make sure that the weight of the car is evenly distributed across the frame especially driving around the roads of Trenton and Allenstown, tire rotation is the technique of swapping a car's tires from the back to the front. Regular tire rotation is essential for improved handling, longer tire life, and as usual, potential long-term cost savings. Depending on the vehicle's drive system, failing to rotate tires can result in the front or rear tires wearing out more quickly, making it harder to operate the car in dangerous road conditions. When you take a moment and rotate your tires, you are helping your Accord or CR-V stay in prime condition. When you drive, a lot of pressure is exerted on your tires and depending on if you're front-wheel or rear-wheel drive, your tires have different pressure points. For example, if your car is a front-wheel drive, most of the pressure and friction occurs with your front tires, resulting in them wearing down faster than the wheels at the back of your car. When you rotate your tires, though, you are giving your tires a break and equalizing the pressure. Going off of the example above, the front-wheel tires would then be placed at the back of your car, while the rear wheels would be rotated to the front, helping to wear your tires down more gradually.

Tire Rotation Schedule

So how frequently should your tires be rotated? Manufacturers' instructions state that tires should be changed every 5,000 miles. This could also likely be the same time that many would change the oil in their Honda. One tip is to ask your mechanic if it would be a good idea to rotate your tires when you bring your car in for an oil change. You might need to rotate your tires more frequently or less frequently depending on the weather where you drive and whether your car has front, rear, or all-wheel drive.

Tire Rotation Patterns

Depending on whether or not your car is front, rear, or all-wheel drive, our technicians may recommend a different tire rotation pattern. We have highlighted a few of the most common below.
