While it’s true that tires rotate every time you’re behind the wheel of your Mazda6 or Mazda CX-3 near Staten Island, NY, there’s another type of tire rotation we have in mind for this blog. Specifically, the tire rotation that involves you visiting our nearby Mazda service center every 6,000 – 8,000 miles so that we can switch your tires’ position.

Depending on the wear exhibited by each of your Mazda vehicle’s tires, we might rotate your tires from back to front, left to right, or diagonally. Why do we do this? It all has to do with tire wear. Most tires tend to wear unevenly, especially the front tires, whose outside edges wear faster due to the fact that these tires “lean” when you turn a corner. The rear tires, which follow the path of the front tires, typically wear more evenly. Nevertheless, ignoring the benefit of a tire rotation could lead to your front tires wearing out far sooner than the rear ones. The end-result is that you’ll need to replace your tires thousands of miles sooner than usual.

The good news is, if you visit our Mazda dealership serving Union, NJ and have your tires rotated regularly, you’ll benefit from a smoother ride and safer handling, along with an increased lifespan for your tires. No doubt about it: in the long run, tire rotations will save you plenty of time and money.

Other contributors to uneven tire wear include poor alignment and incorrect tire pressure. When we rotate your tires, we can remedy a misalignment and adjust your tires’ pressure to the proper level. It’s a simple procedure, and you’ll reap important benefits like better fuel economy, stronger acceleration, and optimum safety.
