WHY TYRE ROTATIONS ARE SO IMPORTANT!
No matter what you drive or what tyres you're running, it is absolutely imperative that you keep on top of regular tyre rotations. Tyre rotations are free of charge when you purchase a set of 4 tyres from Garden Tyrepower Warrnambool. It's a job that takes 15-30 minutes depending on what's happening on the day. Your rear tyres get a balance and then shifted to the front of the vehicle whilst your front tyres go to the rear. Depending on how they're wearing/vehicle type will depend on whether they are criss-crossed or not. An air pressure check on all tyres is also completed. We can also inspect tyre wear and speak to you about a Wheel Alignment if required. Free rotations are offered on passenger vehicles every 5,000km and every 10,000km on 4WD's. A sticker to help you remember when you're due is placed at the top of your windscreen unless you request for it to go some place else. So why are they important?
Pictured here we have a MAXXIS MT772 RAZR. It is what we'd class as a premium mud terrain tyre. These bad boys are without a doubt one of the best muddies available on the market that manage to achieve unbelievable mileage whilst remaining peak performers off road. This is the front passenger side tyre and a perfect example as to why tyre rotations are so important. If these had've been rotated on time, we would've picked up on the heel-and-toe wear pattern and prevented it from getting any worse by moving it to the rear of the vehicle and completing a front end Wheel Alignment. With a bit of luck we may still be able to achieve more uniform wear as this tyre is now on the rear of the vehicle. But at the end of the day, the sooner we pick up on wear issues, the more tyre life we can help you preserve. Rotations are especially important the more aggressive a tyre becomes. Mud terrain tyres are renowned for terrible wear if they are constantly used ONLY on road and never rotated. But in saying that, your UHP (ultra high performance) tyres are also important to keep rotated as they are often low profile and have a low treadwear rating meaning high comfort and grip levels but less life. Long story short, no matter what you drive - PLEASE ROTATE YOUR TYRES!
