A tire rotation involves swapping each tire on your car to a different position to extend the life of the tires. Regular rotations at your Mazda dealer provide a whole lot of benefits, with the added advantage of saving a bundle of cash.  

6 Benefits of Getting a Tire Rotation for Your Mazda at Your Mazda Dealer

1. Your Tires Will Last Longer

When you take your Mazda for the factory-recommended oil change intervals every 7,500 miles or six months, your Mazda technician will also switch the tires on your vehicle to different positions. The repositioning of your car’s tires will ensure that all four tires wear down evenly at an equal rate and last longer. You will find the oil change and rotation intervals for your vehicle’s model and year in your car’s owner’s manual or ask your Mazda technician for assistance.

2. The Tires Will Wear Down Evenly

Each one of your car’s tires wears down at different rates. The front tires wear down faster than the rear tires on front-wheel drive vehicles because they are used for turning and braking. The Mazda technician will swap your car’s front tires to the rear, cross the rear tires, and fit them to the front of your vehicle.

By repositioning the tires regularly, they will wear down more evenly and last longer. Different types of cars require different rotation patterns. Your Mazda technician knows which rotation pattern to use for your specific vehicle. You will also find the rotation pattern for your car in your owner’s manual.

3. Rotations Will Minimize Vibrations

When you don’t get your tires switched regularly,  the tread on tires wears down unevenly. Uneven wear causes vibrations you will feel through your steering wheel. If you don’t ask your technician to sort out the problem, over time, the vibrations will cause damage to your vehicle.

The vibrations will affect the wheel alignment and balancing. To reduce the risk of vibrations and damage to your car, ask your Mazda technician to rotate your car’s tires every time you take your vehicle for an oil and filter replacement.

4. Your Tires Will Regularly Be Inspected

Another benefit of regular rotations at your dealership is that the Mazda technicians also perform thorough tire inspections to determine the condition of your vehicle’s tires. The technician will check the tire tread depth, inspect each tire for cracks and bubbles, and inflate the tires to the proper pressure levels. After every rotation, you can rest assured that your tires will be in excellent condition.

5. Regular Rotations Will Increase Your Safety

Safety is the most crucial benefit of regularly switching the tires on your vehicle. Regular rotations will ensure that the tread depth is the same and the wear is even across all four tires. Even depth and tread wear will increase traction, especially on wet and slippery road surfaces when accelerating, braking, and cornering, ensuring that you and your passengers will be safe.

6. Regular Rotations Will Save You Money

We all want to save money, and this is what you will do when your tires are rotated at regular intervals. The tires on your car will last longer because all four tires will wear down at the same rate, and you will not have to buy a new set of tires as often, saving you money. Generally, it’s more expensive to buy and replace just one tire than purchase and mount a new set.

Ask your Mazda technician to switch the tires on your vehicle to make them last longer, increase your car’s performance and your safety on the road, and, best of all, save money. Visit Tom Bush Mazda today to reap all the great benefits of regularly rotating your vehicle’s tires.
