Acura Tire Rotation Service Near Phoenix

Why Tire Rotation Service Is Important?

The average street tire has a tread surface of about 180 to 250 square inches. But what you need to understand is that the contact patch or area that is in contact with the surface of the road at any given time is only about 30 to 50 square inches. So, it is vital that every square inch of the tire tread is in top condition to ensure your safety and ability to have complete control of the movement of your car. Tire rotation is one of the best ways for you to ensure even wear of the tread pattern on all tires, which helps ensure the most longevity and safety of the tires, as well as the well-being of you and your passengers.

What Causes Unusual Tire Wear?

When you envision your vehicle moving down the road, you picture it smoothly rolling on the tires with no uneven motion. But that might not be what you would see if you watched the car in motion from outside the vehicle. The shocks and other parts of the suspension of your Acura do a great job at smoothing out the ride for passengers, even when the wheels and tires are not rotating smoothly along the roadway.

If the uneven or less than smooth rotation of the tires continues, the result will be uneven wear to the tire tread and a significant decrease in their lifespan. The cause of this uneven wear can be many issues that include:

• Wheels that are out of alignment
• The road surface and defects in the roadway
• Improper tire inflation
• Mechanical issues with the suspension, brakes, or steering
• Your driving habits

The solutions to these tire destroying issues include operating the vehicle more smoothly with gentle acceleration and stopping to avoid excessive tread wear, wheel alignment service at Acura of Tempe if needed, and keeping the tires properly inflated to maximize the tread contact with the road’s surface without creating bulges in the tire sidewalls.

Decreasing Typical Tire Wear And Degradation

There is no way to stop tire wear when the tire is being used regularly. For that reason, tires are considered consumable components on a vehicle. However, as a responsible car owner, you can control the impact of routine driving and wear to the tire tread with regular tire rotations at the Acura of Tempe service department.

The location of the tire on the car will dictate the wear pattern on the tread. For example, front tires can wear more along the edges of the tread as the vehicle is frequently turning, adding to that extended wear pattern. The tire wear will also vary from the right to the left side tires. If the tires are not rotated regularly, the wear is concentrated in a small part of the contact patch on each tire and will cause them all to wear out prematurely. Without tire rotations, you might get only around 50 to 75% of the expected tire life, as quoted by the manufacturer. But when you stop by Acura of Tempe for a tire rotation, our experts will inspect the tires, rotate them for optimal wear of the entire tread surface, and get you back on the road to Gilbert quickly. You might even find a service special coupon for a tire rotation or tire rotation and oil change to provide added savings and protect the longevity of your vehicle.
