Tire rotation is a vital service performed during every maintenance check at Radical Mechanical, but what exactly does it entail?
Most vehicles are equipped with four tires, yet it’s common for certain tires to wear more quickly than others. For instance, the left front tire often experiences accelerated wear due to frequent roundabouts and right-hand turns.
Without regular tire rotation, you may find that the left front tire wears out significantly faster, necessitating more frequent replacements compared to the other three tires. By rotating your tires, you can redistribute wear and extend their overall lifespan, saving you money in the long run.
A typical rotation pattern involves moving the left front tire to the right rear position (where it’s less likely to wear quickly), the right front tire to the left rear, the right rear tire to the right front, and the left rear tire to the left front. This strategic approach helps balance tire wear and prolongs the life of all four tires.
At Radical Mechanical, we recommend having your tires rotated at every service or every 10,000 kilometers to ensure optimal performance and safety.
However, there are situations where tire rotation may not be feasible. These include vehicles with directional tires, different rim offsets, varying tire sizes, or when the best tires are already positioned at the front of the car.
By prioritizing tire rotation, you can maintain your vehicle’s performance and avoid unnecessary costs associated with tire replacements. Trust Radical Mechanical to keep your tires in top condition!
