Let's look at the reasons tire rotation is so essential.

What happens during a tire rotation?

Tire rotation is simply changing the position of your vehicle's tires. During a tire rotation, the service technician will rotate the tires, inspect the condition of the tread, and check and adjust the tire air pressure. If the tread is wearing unevenly, your car may need a wheel alignment.

What will happen if I don't get a tire rotation?

If you neglect to rotate your car's tires, it could end up costing a lot of money. The tires may wear prematurely, which means you'll have to buy a new set of tires sooner than you would have had to if you'd been rotating them regularly. Plus, when you get tire rotation in Cherry Hill, it will prevent you from driving on dangerous tires.

Why should a professional perform a tire rotation?

Theoretically, you could rotate your vehicle's tires yourself, but the chances are you don't have the right tools for the job. A qualified professional has the experience necessary to make sure the tire rotation is done correctly and safely.

What are the different kinds of tire rotation patterns?

This depends on which car you drive and the type of tires it uses. Standard tires are rotated using one of three rotation patterns: forward cross, x-pattern and rearward cross.

• Forward cross: Front-wheel-drive vehicles typically use the forward cross pattern. The front tires move to the rear, and the rear tires move to the front. Then the left and right rear tires move to the opposite sides.
• X-pattern: This is another pattern used with front-wheel-drive vehicles. The front tires move to the rear. The rear tires move to the front. The front and rear tires then switch sides.
• Rearward cross: This pattern is for rear- and four-wheel drive vehicles. The front tires move to the back and switch sides. The rear tires move to the front.

Performance tires use front-to-back or side-to-side rotation patterns.

• Front-to-back: This rotation pattern is best for directional tires. The front tires move to the back and the rear tires move to the front. The tires don't switch sides.
• Side-to-side: This pattern is for vehicles with different size tires in the front and rear. The left tires move to the right, and the right tires move to the left.
