Regularly getting a tire rotation helps keep your tires even, leading to a more comfortable and safer ride. It’s part of the preventive maintenance you should be getting at your Nissan dealer. Safety and comfort in your car are always highly desirable, so let’s look a little closer at the benefits of getting your tires rotated.

4 Benefits of Getting a Tire Rotation at Your Heath Nissan Dealer

1. Your Tires Will Last Longer

Your front tires support more of your car’s weight than the back ones because the powertrain is located at the front of the vehicle. Plus, many cars operate in forward-wheel drive most of the time, putting more strain on those front tires. This makes your front tires wear down faster than the back ones, shortening their lifespan.

Regular rotations stop the front tires from wearing down faster than the back ones. Instead, your tires wear down evenly. You’ll be able to replace all four tires at the same time, as the front ones will have a longer lifespan than they would if your tires weren’t regularly rotated.

2. Your Tires Will Have More Traction

When all your tires have the same amount of tread, you have more traction overall all around the vehicle. The tires grip the road better, bring you to a stop faster when you hit the brakes, and all around provide a safer ride. When the tread is uneven, you might notice less traction on slippery and loose surfaces, and you’ll have longer stopping times when you hit the brakes.

3. Your Ride Quality Will Be Better

Uneven tires lead to unpleasant vibrations while you’re driving, which can make driving a little uncomfortable. Unevenly worn tires also make a lot more noise on the road, and that can stop you from comfortably chatting with your passengers, as you might have to shout to be heard above the noise. You’ll be much more comfortable in a car with tires that undergo regular rotations to keep them even.

4. Your Wallet Will Thank You

Evenly worn tires can be replaced all at the same time, as we said earlier. However, if your tires wear down unevenly, then you might have to replace the front wheels more often than the back ones. Sometimes you may even have to replace individual tires, as you may have more wear on one side of your vehicle than on the other. Frequently replacing individual tires typically costs more than replacing all four of them at once. Plus, it saves time.
