Tire Rotation Service

CHEVROLET BUICK GMC TIRE ROTATION SERVICE IN MIDLAND

Tire Rotation Service is an automotive tire maintenance strategy that mitigates the variable steering & handling forces that differ across each wheel location. First, we know tires will wear over time since they are made of rubber. Second, they will wear differently depending upon their location on the vehicle. Tires positioned on your vehicle’s front wheels handle different forces than the tires positioned at the rear. If left unattended, the driving forces will cause the tire tread to wear down until you have a flat. However, periodically repositioning each tire in a different wheel location will mitigate the threat of uneven and rapid tire wear that occurs from leaving tires in one place for too long. Tire Rotation Service is the term that describes periodically repositioning each tire to a new location that provides you with benefits including smoother steering & handling, better ride comfort, maximum tire life, reduced operational costs, and maximum passenger safety.
