A proper tire rotation involves having your Volkswagen’s tires removed and re-attached to different locations on your car. Examples of this include front tires being moved to the back, tires being switched from passenger to driver side, and tires being moved in a criss-cross pattern. Different patterns are needed because some cars are FWD, others RWD, and some AWD, which all impact a car’s tires differently. A certified expert will know which tire rotation pattern is right for your car and its specific driving needs.
Regular driving in Albany causes your tires’ tread to wear down, and even with very careful driving, normal tire wear is unavoidable. But all four of your Volkswagen’s tires do not wear down at the same rate. Regular tire rotations help spread tread wear out evenly, which offers several benefits. The first of these is that your tires will last longer, and secondly, your Volkswagen’s road grip and handling will be improved.
In general, you should rotate your tires every 10,000 miles or once a year. However, it’s important to keep several variables that can affect your tires’ tread life in mind. These can include the quality of the roads you drive on in Troy, the amount of traffic you encounter, your driving habits, and other factors such as if you frequently use your Volkswagen for towing. If you notice any performance issues or a decrease in responsiveness, you should have a professional Volkswagen tire rotation done as soon as possible.
By skipping regular tire rotations, you put yourself, your passengers, and other drivers in danger. Without regular rotations, tires can blow out or have leaks in a very unpredictable way, which can easily lead to an accident or leave you in a Defreestville parking lot with a flat. There is also a financial consideration as without rotations, tires wear down faster and are more prone to damage leading to more frequent replacements, which can be quite inconvenient.
