As a Subaru owner, you want to keep your vehicle running smoothly and safely for years. One key aspect of proper vehicle maintenance that is often overlooked is getting regular tire rotations. At Subaru White Plains in Elmsford, NY, we're here to explain why tire rotations are so important and how they can benefit your Subaru.
What is a Tire Rotation?
A tire rotation involves moving the tires to different positions on the vehicle to promote even tread wear. The front tires are moved to the rear, and the rear tires are moved to the front. Sometimes, the left and right sides are also swapped. The specific tire rotation pattern depends on your vehicle and the type of tires.
The Benefits of Regular Tire Rotations
There are several key benefits to getting regular tire rotations for your Subaru:
- Even tread wear - Rotating the tires ensures they wear down evenly over time, which helps them last longer before needing to be replaced.
- Better traction - Tires with even tread provide better all-around traction and handling.
- Smoother ride - Properly rotated tires help provide a smoother, more balanced ride.
- Improved fuel efficiency - Evenly worn tires have lower rolling resistance, which can slightly improve gas mileage.
Subaru recommends getting your tires rotated about every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. Following this schedule and other routine maintenance will help keep your Subaru performing its best.
