Our team at Nissan of Meridian in Meridian, MS wants you to know that tire rotation is a critical component of the maintenance and safety of your car since it involves moving your tires in specified directions, such as from the back to the front or from one side to the other. This helps to even out tire wear, which leads to longer tire life.
Tire rotation also helps to reduce uneven wear on steering components and suspension parts like the tire-road ends and the ball joints caused by misalignment. It is normal for these parts to get misaligned as the vehicle is running. Therefore, it is important to do a proper inspection when rotating your tires to ensure all the damages are addressed.
It also helps protect your vehicle by reducing the risk of a blowout due to underinflation, which can occur when tires wear unevenly. Additionally, rotating your tires helps improve handling by putting more rubber on the road at slower speeds.
