Tire rotation provides many benefits for your Ford. It’s a simple and effective way to save money, reduce wear and tear, and keep your Chevy running optimally. As your Chevy dealer, we’d like to tell you more about some of the benefits of rotating your tires. 

3 Benefits of Getting a Tire Rotation at Your Chevy Dealer

Your Tires Will Last Longer

Your tires are subject to wear and abrasion as you drive. There’s no way to prevent this, but rotating your tires can prevent unnecessary wear and prolong tire life. The position of your tires and the type of transmission in your car both influence tire wear. A front-wheel drive (FWD) transmission, for example, demonstrates greater wear on the front tires than the rear tires.

When we rotate your tires, we move them to equalize wear. Some positions are subject to increased wear, as we saw above. We swap your tire positions, which replace worn tires with fresh ones. This process allows your tires to wear down more evenly and consistently. This increases your tire’s life and allows you to plan their replacement.

You Reduce Wear on Other Systems

Worn tires place additional strain on numerous other systems. Your braking system, axles, and even your engine have to work harder than they should to compensate for the worn tires. Thinner tread, for example, places extra strain on your brakes as they need more effort to slow and stop your car. Your axles have to cope with unbalanced tires, and this can lead to future problems.

Rotating your tires changes this. If we rotate the tires on an FWD car, the new front tires will function more efficiently due to the lack of wear. In this case, your brakes will continue to operate efficiently, and your axles aren’t subject to additional strain. When you reduce potential damage to car components, you save money that would otherwise be spent on future repairs.

Your Engine Performance Improves

You chose your Chevy for many reasons, and one of these is its excellent engine performance. Worn tires, unfortunately, seriously reduce engine performance. Worn tires will generate additional friction with the surface and require more energy to move.

Healthy tires, in contrast, reduce friction with the road surface and allow your brakes to work easier and efficiently. These smoother operations decrease the energy your engine needs to move your car. Improved engine performance directly translates into savings at the pump. An efficient engine uses less gas, which means fewer wasted trips to the gas station.
