What is tire rotation? Tire rotation means you strategically move each of your car’s tires to a different position, to balance out uneven wear to the treads. No matter what kind of driving you do, uneven wear patterns are inevitable. Tire rotation helps your tires retain full contact with the ground, for maximum traction even when the road surface in Stockton is less than ideal. What does rotating tires mean you’ll need to do? Some drivers do like to perform tire rotations at home, but most Merced drivers simply stop by their local dealership for service.
Tire rotation is crucial for safe driving in Stanislaus, and helps you get the longest possible use out of your tires. You’ll also see it included on your Mercedes-Benz service schedule. For both FWD and AWD vehicles, the rotation pattern involves moving front tires to the rear, rear tires moving to the front. The front tires switch sides as they move to the front, while the rear tires keep to the same side when rotated to the rear. For example, the rear left tire becomes the front left tire, and the front right tire becomes the rear left tire. Tire rotations keep you safe in these important ways:
Most FWD vehicle tires need a rotation every 5,000 to 7,000 miles, while AWD tires will require more frequent rotation every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. Your owner’s guide should provide a more exact figure for your make and model. You can also watch for the following signs that it’s time to schedule service for a tire rotation:
