The Importance of Tire Rotation: Maximizing Performance and Safety

Understanding Tire Rotation: A Key to Vehicle Longevity

Regular maintenance is crucial for your vehicle's longevity and performance, and tire rotation is a pivotal part of this process. At Highland Tire, we emphasize the importance of this often-overlooked service. Tire rotation involves moving tires from one position on a vehicle to another to ensure even tire wear. This practice extends tire life, enhances vehicle performance, and most importantly, ensures your safety.

The Mechanics of Tire Wear and Rotation

Tires, the only parts of your vehicle that make contact with the road, wear down differently based on their position. Front tires, for instance, wear faster due to bearing more weight and handling steering. By rotating them, you evenly distribute wear, which is crucial for maintaining good handling and prolonging tire life.

Custom Rotation Patterns at Highland Tire

Highland Tire considers several factors to determine the best rotation pattern for your vehicle:

• Vehicle Drive Type (FWD, RWD, AWD): Different drive types result in different wear patterns.
• Tire Type (Directional vs. Non-Directional): We cater to the specific rotation needs of each tire type.
• Manufacturer Recommendations: We adhere to your vehicle manufacturer’s guidelines for optimal results.
