As a Subaru owner, you want to keep your vehicle running smoothly and safely for years. Regular tire rotations are a simple but important maintenance task that can help extend the life of your tires and improve your car's performance. At Southern Oregon Subaru in Medford, our expert technicians are here to help with all your tire care needs.
What is a Tire Rotation?
A tire rotation involves moving the tires to different positions on the vehicle to promote even tread wear. The front tires are moved to the rear, and the rear tires are moved to the front. Depending on your Subaru model and tire setup, the rear tires may also be switched from one side to the other.
This process helps ensure that all four tires wear at a similar rate over time. Tire wear is essential for optimal traction, handling, and fuel efficiency. It also helps prevent premature tire replacement due to uneven or excessive wear on certain tires.
The Benefits of Tire Rotations
There are several key benefits to having your Subaru's tires rotated regularly:
- Extended tire life: Even wear helps your tires last longer before needing replacement
- Improved traction: Properly rotated tires provide better grip and stability on the road
- Enhanced handling: Balanced tread wear optimizes your Subaru's steering responsiveness and cornering
- Smoother ride: Evenly worn tires absorb bumps and vibrations for a more comfortable ride
- Better fuel efficiency: Tires with good tread depth have less rolling resistance, which can slightly improve gas mileage
