Even a small degree of uneven tire wear can hinder your driving experience, hurt your wallet, and cause all sorts of car problems. Regular tire rotation is a simple and effective solution to uneven tire wear. Here are six good reasons to periodically visit your nearest Genesis dealership to have your car’s tires swapped around.
6 Benefits of Getting a Tire Rotation for Your Genesis
Save on the Cost of New Tires
Various factors cause car tires to wear down unevenly. Without regular rotation, one or two tires can wear down excessively, requiring the entire set of four to be replaced sooner. The reason tires usually need to be replaced in a set of four is that you can’t introduce a brand-new tire to a set that already has partially worn-down treads: the difference in tread thickness would cause too many problems, as we talk about below.
Regular rotation can extend the life of each set of four tires by up to 20,000 miles. This could mean you need to purchase new tires only four times over the lifespan of your car, instead of six or seven times. If you’re using premium tires, this can amount to thousands of dollars in savings.
Reduce Strain on Other Car Parts
The awkward pressure created by uneven tires puts extra strain on connected car parts such as the wheels, suspension, axles, and brakes. Without regular rotation, these nearby parts are also more likely to develop faults.
Keep Your Warranty Valid
While it’s rare for a driver to need to use their tire warranty, it’s always nice to have a valid warranty as insurance against an unexpected tire failure. And most tire warranties require periodical rotation in order to remain valid.
Enjoy Better Performance
The wonderfully smooth driving performance of a modern Genesis depends in large part on the quality of its suspension, wheel alignment, and tire quality. If your tires begin to wear down unevenly to an excessive degree, you may notice reduced handling factors such as odd vibrations, dragging on one side, or less precise steering.
Maintain Better Traction
When tire treads wear down unevenly, one or two tires become more susceptible to losing traction and causing a skid. Regular rotation makes sure your tires are sharing the wear and tear evenly, thereby maintaining better overall traction on the road.
Reduce the Risk of Blowouts
If one or two of your tires wear down excessively, they become weakened and more likely to blow out. Once again, rotation does a great deal to mitigate this risk.
How Often To Have Rotation at Your Local Genesis Dealer
It’s generally advisable to have tires rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles, or every six months, whichever comes first. This aligns nicely with the usual intervals for oil changes and brake inspections. Always check your owner’s manual to see how often Genesis recommends rotation for your particular model.
