Tire Balancing and Rotation

Tire Balancing

Tire balancing takes place any time you replace the tires on your vehicle. Since tires wear depending on driving practices and road problems, the uneven wear will become noticeable after the first 1,000-2,000 miles of use. Tires must be checked for balance every 4,000-6,000 miles. Our mechanics can help determine whether your tires need to be rotated and balanced based on wear or mileage.

Tire Rotation

Typically, rear wheel tires last twice as long as front wheel tires. Ideally, we recommend you replace all four tires at the same time. Rotating your tires helps ensure even wearing for all your tires. Follow your vehicle's owner's manual suggestions, rotate them with every other oil change, or rotate them every 3,000 to 7,000 miles.
