Visiting your CDJR dealership for tire rotation is something that you should never overlook as a responsible car owner. Routine maintenance is crucial to keep your vehicle running smoothly and safely, and as the tires are a key component of your CDJR, you should stay on top of your regular tire checks and rotations.
Why Is Tire Rotation Important?
Rotating your tires on a regular basis is vital to ensure even wear. Without rotation, your tires could end up wearing down more on one side of the vehicle than the other, resulting in reduced performance on the road, and a much shorter tire lifespan. Adhering to a regular rotation schedule will help to save you money in the long run, since you won’t need to replace your tires as often.
Do I Need to Rotate My Tires Every Six Months?
The frequency with which you need to rotate your tires will depend on how many miles you cover. It is generally recommended that you have your tires checked and rotated after every 5000–7000 miles, however, if you drive in very harsh conditions, it’s worthwhile getting them inspected more frequently.
Even if you haven’t covered 5000 miles, it’s still wise to rotate your tires every six months anyway to ensure trouble-free driving.
How Often Does a CDJR Dealership Recommend That AWD Vehicles Need Their Tires Rotated?
While FWD and RWD vehicles need their tires rotated every 5000–7000 miles or every six months, if you have an AWD vehicle, your dealership will recommend a slightly different schedule. Usually, it’s a good idea to rotate your tires after completing 3000–5000 miles in an all-wheel-drive model, but your dealership will be able to advise you as to the ideal interval between rotations for your vehicle.
Does Rotating Tires Make Driving Safer?
Not only does rotating your tires help to save you money by extending their lifespan, it also helps to make driving much safer. Unevenly worn tires may have poor traction on the road surface, especially when driving in wet conditions. You’re much less likely to experience aquaplaning or skidding if your tires are properly rotated on schedule.
When tires are unevenly worn, handling your vehicle is more difficult and your ride may be more bumpy and noisy. By rotating your tires at the appropriate intervals, you’ll enjoy smoother handling and less road noise. Furthermore, you’ll hugely reduce your risk of experiencing a blowout while driving, helping to keep you safer on the roads.
