Picking the right tire for your car will add to both an enjoyable ride and the safety to the driver and all passengers. When you think about it, they’re the only thing between you and the road. Tires become unsafe when the rubber starts to wear down. And there are several reasons why tires tend to wear down.
Everyday driving will over time begin to wear down the rubber. Whether you drive locally or on long-distance trips, everyday use will start to affect how the tires grip the road. The tires on the front of your car will wear down differently than those in the back of your vehicle. This is because the front tires more or less lean into turns as you are taking corners. This puts pressure on the tires differently than your back tires. Your back tires will wear out more evenly.
To prevent your tires from wearing out faster than they need to, therefore lasting a lot longer for you, your Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat service mechanic will rotate your tires when you come for an oil change. Every make and model is different, so we suggest you check your Maintenance Schedule. However, for most cars, we recommend rotating your tires on average every 7,500 miles to save the tires from wearing out unevenly.
