Benefits of Rotating Your Tires

If you want your Lexus to continue to perform to the highest standard, it requires regular maintenance and care. Part of that maintenance is to make sure your tires are wearing out at an even level across the vehicle, and that means you need to be regularly rotating them. Read on with the tire experts here at Lexus Downtown as we walk you through why it’s so important to rotate your tires.

Even Tread Wear

There are numerous factors which can cause uneven stress on your tires, from the power being distributed through the drivetrain, to your steering and wheel alignment, to how hard you brake. Regularly rotating the tires ensures that each tire is getting even wear and tear, which is better for the tread pattern and, ultimately, for your vehicle.

Longevity

Replacing tires can be costly, and they must be replaced in pairs. Ensuring they’re wearing out evenly helps to maintain them over a longer period of time, which can save you on those costly replacements in the future. If you want your tires to last as long as possible, the least you can do is ensure they get rotated when you go in for service.

Performance and Safety

Tire treads help them grip the road. When they wear out, they lose their ability to properly maintain traction, especially on loose, slippery, wet, or steep surfaces. Keeping the treads even will help maintain traction for a longer period of time. A worn-out tire is also more likely to suffer a puncture or blow out during use, so rotation helps from a safety perspective as well. Your Lexus will also perform better when the tires offer less resistance to the engine, so properly cared-for tires are good for overall efficiency.
