The Significance of Tire Rotations

Our Volkswagen service center in Tampa, FL, performs an oil change and tire rotation every time you bring your car in for routine maintenance. The technicians also inspect all fluids. Tire rotations are important to even out tread wear and keep your tires balanced. Depending on the type of powertrain in your vehicle—and whether you have rear-wheel, front-wheel or all-wheel drive—how often you should rotate them is different.

Rotating your tires during routine maintenance can extend the life of your tires and ensure even tread wear. Tires will wear over time, especially if you drive on rough road conditions or have hit a curb—but rotating them regularly ensures they all get used equally so they don’t prematurely degrade because one tire always sees more mileage than its counterparts. Regularly rotating tires gives technicians the chance to check the condition of both front and rear tires—and recognize any disturbing patterns.

When you drive, the position of your tires is different. For example, when driving a front-wheel drive car, it’s important that the tires in front absorb more friction and torque—so braking/turning/accelerating can be done better by other wheels or hydraulic systems. When we perform a tire rotation for your Volkswagen vehicle, this helps even out the wear on each set of tires. This keeps tread depth more uniform and results in improved handling by providing greater traction—which ultimately improves cornering and braking.

The Best Way to Properly Care For Tires

Regular tire inspection is the first step in maintaining your tires and wheels while warding off the need for Volkswagen tire repair and tire replacements, but there are other things you can do to prolong their life besides having them serviced by a mechanic.

Our team suggests that you:

• Check the alignment: In addition to replacing tires and performing wheel alignments, our team is also equipped to repair bent rims. If you notice that your vehicle pulls to the left or right, vibrates in its steering wheel or drifts from a straight line when it is turned, contact us for an alignment and check of the front axle.
• Check the tire pressure: Each month, check your tires to see if they are losing air. Most tires lose about one pound per square inch of pressure each month under normal conditions. During the winter months, if you don’t have your tire pressure set correctly, this can cause increased wear and tear on your tires as well as a poor braking or handling performance while begging the need for Volkswagen tire repair or tire replacements near me in Tampa, FL, sooner versus later.

When to Schedule Your Next Tire Replacement

It’s important to schedule a tire replacement in Tampa, FL, when you notice a flat tire, but there are other ways to tell if you need new tires. The simplest way to test your tire tread at home is to place a penny into the groove of one of your tires. If you can see all of Lincoln’s head, it’s time for a tire replacement.

However, if your tires are in good condition, Lincoln’s head will appear uncovered. If you notice other signs that you need a tire replacement in North Tampa (including checking the center of your tire tread), our technicians recommend immediately heading to our team of technicians. Tire wear is often caused by an improperly inflated tire or a misalignment.

If you notice excessive wear on the shoulders of each tire, that means your tires are under-inflated—so bring them in for air. Excessive wear from side to side may indicate incorrect camber angles and need for alignment services. By not aligning your tires, you could wear them out faster on one side. If you notice any of these issues and schedule a tire rotation and tire replacement in North Tampa, our team is here to help. We also offer flat tire repair services so your tires are always safe on the road.
