Description: Tire rotation refers to the regular practice of
switching the position of each tire on the car.
Purpose: Tire rotation helps to equalize tread wear and
is critical to gain the maximum life from your tire
investment.
Maintenance Tips/Suggestions: Refer to your owner's
manual for the recommended rotation interval and
pattern; generally a rotation interval of 6,000 miles is
recommended. The rotation pattern varies with different
makes and models, which shows the tire locations
during rotation. Some vehicles have different size tires
on the front and back or directional tires. This limits the
locations that a tire may take on the vehicle. When in
doubt, check the owner's manual or consult a
professional technician for guidance. Tire rotation time
also offers a good opportunity to have the tires and
wheels balanced. It's another step you can take to
maximize your tire investment.

Description: Wheel balance refers to the proper
distribution of weight around a revolving tire and wheel
assembly. Poor wheel balance can have a marked
impact on both your car and your safety.
Purpose: Proper wheel balance ensures that the
wheels, while spinning, do not have a heavy spot that
can cause vibration and premature wear of tires, struts,
shocks and other steering and suspension
components. When combined with proper wheel
alignment, balanced wheels ensure smooth and
enjoyable driving.
Maintenance Tips/Suggestions: The most common
signs of unbalanced tires are vibration and noise
problems. When driving with an out-of-balance wheel,
the wheel literally bounces down the road rather than
spinning smoothly. This can affect the speed, handling
and mileage of your car. Many of today's cars have
lightweight suspension systems and are therefore,
more sensitive to imbalance than older cars. It's a good
idea to have your car's wheels balanced when rotating
the tires, about every 6,000 miles. It's not uncommon for
wheels to lose a wheel weight from time to time; so
periodic balancing minimizes the impact of unbalanced
wheels on your car.
