Gray scale image of a person working on a tire.When taking your vehicle to your local Chrysler dealer to get serviced, a tire rotation might be on the list of tasks to be performed. Recommended every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, depending on the type of vehicle, there are many advantages to rotating your tires. Here are a few of them!

1. Extended Tire Life

Vehicle layouts can come in rear-wheel drive, front-wheel drive, or all-wheel drive and each one will wear out their tires at different rates. For instance, the tires at the back of a rear-wheel-drive car will wear out faster because that’s where engine power is transferred to. A front-wheel-drive car’s tires are especially prone to wear due to the added weight of the engine in front.

Switching the rear tires with the ones in front will give them a chance to wear out more evenly, greatly prolonging how long they last. With the wheels removed from the axles, it’s also a great chance to inspect each tire more thoroughly for damage since you can view it from more angles. If you catch any damage early enough, there’s a chance that it can still be repaired. Read the rest of this entry »
