Here at SUN GMC, INC., we like to give Wantagh drivers useful information that can help them keep their vehicles maintained. It’s necessary that you keep your tires in good shape to optimize safety and handling. Although its suggested to check your vehicles manual, many manufacturers suggest that tires are rotated every 5,000 miles, which is about the same time as an oil change.
There are three patterns that can be used during a tire rotation, which include rearward cross, x-pattern, and forward cross. Most vehicles with all-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, or rear-wheel drive get this pattern variation. The x-pattern is seen with front-wheel drive vehicles, but forward cross is the most common type of pattern carried out on vehicles with front-wheel drive. With forward cross, the tires aren’t rotated diagonally.
If you have your tires rotated on a routine schedule, it will increase safety by keeping the tread depth and wear even. It also helps increase fuel economy.
