Tire Rotation Service in Capitola, CA
Rotating your tires means more than just having them spin and rotate in place while you’re driving. Tire rotation is when certified professionals (like us here at Santa Cruz Toyota) take your tires off of your car and rotate them front to back or side to side. These tire rotations as pertinent when it comes to maintaining your Toyota’s overall health and driving performance.
Rotating your tires helps to keep your tires healthier, longer. All tires touch the road differently and bear different weights based on positioning. With these two things in mind, it means that they all also wear differently, some faster than others.
Better handling. When your tires wear unevenly for too long, you can start to feel an imbalance when driving. Although it may at first seem like no big deal, it will eventually impact the way your car handles and can damage your car’s alignment.
The better the traction the better everything. Coming to a sudden stop, driving in the rain, being out when it is slick. These are all things that can be made easier simply by maintaining and rotating your tires.
Your front tires take the most beating. This is why rotating them to the back and side to side while moving the back ones to the front helps to improve and maintain traction.
