Whether you own a car, truck, SUV or van, your vehicle's tires are a significant investment. One of the best ways to prevent your tires from wearing out prematurely is to have the tires rotated at intervals recommended by the manufacturer. If you live in Maple Shade, tire rotation is fast and easy when you bring your vehicle to Burns Hyundai. Regular tire rotation will provide you with longer tire life, even tire wear, and better handling for your car.
When you visit Burns Hyundai for tire rotation near Maple Shade, you can count on quick service. Although we're a Hyundai dealership, we provide tire rotation and service for every make and model. Our certified service technicians will rotate your vehicle's tires using the correct rotation pattern for your car.
In addition to providing longer tire life, rotating the tires using the proper pattern can help prevent sudden tire failure, which can be dangerous as well as inconvenient. Your vehicle's front and rear tires work differently. Tires on front-wheel-drive vehicles operate differently than tires on vehicles with rear-wheel-drive. Consult your owner manual to find specific information on tires for your make and model or call the Burns Hyundai Service Center for help.
If you own a front-wheel-drive vehicle, failure to rotate the tires at regular intervals will cause the front tires to wear faster than the rear tires, resulting in loss of control when driving on wet or slippery road surfaces. Keeping your tires rotated at regular intervals at the Burns Hyundai Service Center will help to prevent cupping, which causes cabin vibration and noise. There's another good reason to make sure your tires are properly rotated-some manufacturers stipulate that failing to rotate the tires will void the tire warranty.
If you're vehicle has standard tires, the service technician will rotate them according to one of three patterns: forward cross, x-pattern, and rearward cross.
- Forward cross: The forward cross pattern is best for front-wheel-drive vehicles. The technician moves the front tires to the back and the rear tires to the front. Then the left and right rear tires change sides.
- X-pattern: The x-pattern is an alternate pattern for front-wheel-drive vehicles. The technician moves the front tires to the back. The rear tires are transferred to the front, and the front and rear tires switch sides.
- Rearward cross: The rearward cross pattern can be used for vehicles with rear- or four-wheel drive. The technician moves the front tires to the back and switches the sides. The rear tires are then moved to the front.
There are two additional patterns for use on performance tires: front-to-back and side-to-side.
- Front-to-back: The front-to-back pattern is best for directional tires. The technician moves the front tires to the back and the rear tires to the front. No tires switch sides.
- Side-to-side: The side-to-side pattern is for vehicles that use tires of different sizes in the front and rear. The technician moves the left tires to the right side and the right tires to the left side.
While it's possible to rotate your own tires, it's preferable to have this service performed by an experienced technician. No matter which make or model you drive, bring your car, truck, SUV or van to the Burns Hyundai Service Center for expert tire rotation done quickly. We'll rotate the tires, inspect them for wear, and check the tire pressure.
