Tire Basics

Tire Rotation

It’s a known fact that regular tire rotation extends the life of your tires and improves performance. Tires are rotated to achieve a uniform wear for all tires. Each tire performs different tasks (such as steering in front- versus rear-wheel drive), therefore tires wear at different rates. Tires should be rotated every 7,500 miles to prevent irregular tire wear.

It’s important to rotate your tires according to the correct tire-rotation pattern. Doing so will prolong the life of your tires and will reduce the risk of sudden tire failure. Front tires encounter different tasks than the rear tires. A front-wheel-drive car's tires perform different tasks than those on a rear-wheel-drive vehicle.

When To Replace Tires

Tread wear indicators appear when the tires only have 2/32” or less of tread remaining. Rubber in tires ages over time. Other warning signs include:

  • You can see three or more tread wear indicators around the tire
  • The tire cord or fabric is showing through the rubber
  • The tire tread or sidewall is cracked, cut, or snagged deep enough to show cord or fabric
  • The tire has a bulge or split
  • The tire has a puncture, cut, or other damage that can’t be repaired correctly

What Causes Tire Wear?

There are many factors that can cause tire wear, such as your driving style and tire maintenance habits. Tire replacement is absolutely needed when the tread wear indicators appear. Built-in tread wear indicators look like narrow strips of smooth rubber across the tread and become visible as the tire surface wears.

Tire FAQ's

You’ll need new tires if the Tread Wear Indicators at three or more places around the tire can be seen. We recommend that the tires be inspected for signs of wear or damage at least once a month, and that vehicle owners seek professional service if the following are found:

  • Cracks in tire tread or sidewalls
  • Cuts in tires that reveal cord or fabric
  • Bumps, bulges or splits in tires
  • Punctures in tires
  • Any other irreparable damage

An underinflated tire can result in overloading and overheating, blowouts, excessive tire wear, poor handling and reduced fuel economy. Overinflated tires also can result in excessive tire wear

Each tire on a vehicle performs a different task, causing them to wear at different rates. Regular tire rotation allows tires to wear evenly, optimizing tire life and allowing tires to be replaced in sets of four, which is preferable.

Our Certified Service experts at Bill Harris Auto Center can recommend tires that are right for your vehicle, your driving habits and your budget.
