Tire Rotation Service

Tire Rotation Service at Don Herring Auto Group

It can be hard to keep up with all your car’s parts, especially your tires. Your tires are going to wear away pretty quickly due to the fact that they’re in constant contact with the road. New tires aren’t always cheap, but if you’re trying to prolong the life of your current set, you might want to see about a tire rotation. If you opt for this service every few thousand miles, it can make a dramatic difference in the long run. When you’re ready to take care of your tires, you can head to one of the many Don Herring Auto Group locations.

What is a Tire Rotation?

Tire rotations are one of the most misunderstood services, as a lot of drivers don’t know what this service actually does for their tires. Because of this, they might be quick to write it off, but it can dramatically extend the lifespan of your tires.

• Switching Your Tires Around: Tire rotations are pretty simple for the most part, as our mechanics will simply be changing your tires around. This is usually a quick service, and most drivers tend to pair it with their oil change.
• Understanding Your Car’s Drive: Why would you change your tires around? Depending on the drive of your vehicle, your car might be putting more stress on certain tires. For example, a rear-wheel drive model will put more stress on the rear tires. By changing them out, you can give these tires a much-needed break.

How Do I Keep Track of My Tires?

It’s important to keep close track of your mileage so that you know when to visit us.

• Staying on Top of Service: Generally, you’re going to want to get your tires rotated every 5,000 to 7,000 miles. This is why this service pairs so well with an oil change. If you use synthetic oil for your model, this is usually around the time that you’re going to need to head to the dealership anyway.
• Dealing with Wear: As you drive, you might notice that your tires start to look different. You’ll want to pay close attention to the state of your tread, as this is going to directly correlate to how well you can grip the road. If your tires are bald, we can help you find a suitable replacement for your model.

What Are the Other Tire Services?

Tire rotations are only a part of tire service. While this is the main service that you’ll need to opt for, there’s also tire balancing and tire rotations.

• Tire Balancing: Your tires aren’t all the same weight, which can create problems for your vehicle. This can often lead to a bouncy drive, and you might notice that your car doesn’t feel as responsive at high speeds. This will also cause your tread to wear away faster. At our locations, we can make sure that they’re all the same weight.
• Tire Alignment: A wheel is meant to roll forward. When you start to shift it a few degrees to the right or the left, it’s going to be dealing with more friction in the long run. An alignment essentially puts your wheel back on the right track by fixing the angle at which it meets the road.
