Whether you are wondering how to rotate tires at home or you prefer to complete tire rotations with the skilled staff at our tire center, Kearny Mesa Acura has you covered. Tire rotation is an important maintenance step you don’t want to skip. After all, rotating your tires on a regular basis can provide you better traction on San Diego roads and extend the life of your tires. When you follow our guide on tire rotation, you’ll get more life from your tires while you drive around San Diego to National City.
Why is tire rotation important? Due to driving habits and drivetrain characteristics, not all tires wear evenly. Due to the impact they experience while turning, the outside edges of the front tires show greater wear, while the rear wheels wear more evenly. If you leave your tires in place, they will wear down at different rates and you will have to replace them much sooner. If you want things to line up when you check your tire tread depth, regular rotation is essential.
Front and rear-wheel drive vehicles generally need their tires rotated every 5,000-7,500 miles. All-wheel drive vehicles require more frequent changes at every 3,000-5,000 miles, since all tires are actively engaged and that results in faster wear. As with any vehicle service, we always recommend checking your owner’s manual for more specific recommendations.
