Your tires are an essential part of your car. Without them, your car would be able to move. They keep you steady and balanced when you're driving. Tires will wear out over time. Constant abrasion from the surface, the effect of weather conditions, and time will cause them damage. You can put off the time to replace your tires with a tire rotation. As your Chrysler dealer, we'd like you to know some of the benefits of rotating your tires. You Extend the Life of Your Tires Tires will wear differently depending on their position on your car. Your front tires will wear out faster than the rear tires, for two main reasons. The front of your car has approximately 60% of your's cars weight, as it houses the engine and transmission. Your front tires will also wear more since the main braking force on your car is applied to the front wheels. If your tires are rotated at least every six months, you spread the wear on the tires. This allows all of your tires to wear evenly. You do have to plan for replacing your tires. By extending tire life, you have more time to prepare for their replacement. You Improve Fuel Economy Tires that are wearing out and that aren't rotated will produce more friction with the surface. This friction means that your engine, transmission, and brakes will have to work harder to overcome the friction resistance. This extra effort requires more power, which means more fuel is needed to move your car. When you rotate your tires, you reduce the friction. Reduced friction from less worn tires reduces the demands on your engine. Your car will move faster but will use less fuel. This saving isn't immediately noticeable, but you will see the difference when you have to visit the gas station less frequently. more Your Driving Is Safer Tires that aren't rotated will wear, as we've seen. The more a tire wears, the greater the chance it will sustain damage. Worn, damaged tires can put you at risk of a sudden blowout. What is more dangerous is some of the wear can happen on the inner side of the tire. This isn't easily visible, and a tire that looks safe can be a potential risk. You Have Better Traction The tread on your tires allows them to grip the surface. The more prominent the tread, the better traction you'll have. As the grooves wear down, you lose a good grip on the surface. By rotating your tires, you spread the wear on the tread. Tread that wears evenly between the tires prevents a lack of traction by one or more tires. Good tread helps you to corner easier and safer. You'll also have a faster response when you use the brakes. If you haven't rotated your tires for a while, call us at Blue Ribbon CDJR. Our technicians will rotate your tires, and you'll start reaping the benefits immediately.   image via jeep.com
