Why and When to Schedule Tire Rotation Service

If you take a moment to think about the number of times your tires turn just to get you from point A to point B, it’s easy to make the case that they’re the hardest working parts of your vehicle. It’s just as easy to understand that your tires will need some TLC to ensure they last as long as possible. One of the simplest things you can do to keep your tires healthy is schedule Lexus service at our location to have your tires rotated.

Why Tire Rotations Are Necessary

Drivers who contact our Lexus dealership near Fort Lauderdale, FL sometimes ask us why tire rotations are so crucial. For starters, it’s necessary to rotate your tires in keeping with their manufacturer’s recommendations or you’ll run the risk of voiding their warranty.

Tire rotations are important to maintain your tires’ warranty coverage, but they’re also vital to extending your tires’ working lives. Regular tire rotations help them wear evenly, which is necessary to keep them in good shape. If a tire stays in one position too long or for too many miles, it can cause the tire to experience more or less wear than it should.

Are you going to visit our Lexus tire center to pick up new tires? If so, you should know that rotating new tires is even more important than doing the same for older ones. Fresh tire tread is even more vulnerable to uneven wear, so you should resist the temptation to skip a tire rotation if your tires are new.

You should also never miss a scheduled tire rotation for older tires. Regular tire rotations will keep the tread on your tires even. Evenly worn tread provides better traction and handling across all your tires.

When to Schedule a Tire Rotation

As was implied earlier, you may need to schedule your first few tire rotations earlier if you’re going to get one of our new Lexus models to protect their new tire tread from excessive wear. For vehicles with older tires, the general rule of thumb is to schedule a tire rotation every 5,000-7,500 miles or every time or every other time you get an oil change depending on the recommendations in your owner’s manual.
