Just like any other routine maintenance task, a tire rotation is an essential part of maintaining the health of your vehicle. Learn more about the benefits of tire service before you visit your Ford dealer. 

1. Your Rotations Are Tracked

Your dealership will track your rotations, which will ensure your vehicle is following a proper rotation schedule. Tracking the rotation position of your tires is important so that the tread can wear evenly on your tires. Proper rotation tracking also ensures that your vehicle is balanced and that you can replace all of your tires at the same time. Third-party mechanics will not track the rotation position of your tires. 
Most of the time, you will need to rotate your tires every 5,000 miles or so. Your driving style, your specific vehicle, the type of tires you have, and how often you drive can all contribute to how often you will need to have your tires rotated. Your Ford owner’s manual will also outline how often you need to rotate your tires. 

2. You Can Order Genuine Replacement Tires

If you need to replace your tires because the tread is too low, then you can buy genuine tires from your dealership. It’s always best to buy the brand of tires recommended for your Ford, so you can get the best performance. Your dealership’s service center can help you order the specific brand and size of tires that are most suitable for your vehicle. 

3. Your Vehicle Will Have Better Performance

Overall, your vehicle has better performance when you rotate your tires regularly. Tires with adequate tread can improve the fuel economy of your Ford. Signs of uneven tread, such as vibrations, difficult steering, and excessive noise, will also be corrected after rotating your tires. 

4. Your Tires Will Last Longer

When you keep up with the recommended rotation schedule for your tires, they will be able to last much longer. Depending on your drivetrain, some of your tires will wear more quickly than others. When you can wear out the tread on your tires more evenly, they will ultimately last longer until your next replacement. 

5. Your Mechanic Will Assess Your Tire Health

Finally, your Ford mechanic will critically assess the health of your tire. While the tread on your tires is important, there are other parts of your tire that must be in good condition, so you are safe on the road. Your mechanic will examine the tire wall for any bulges, air bubbles, scratches, or other flaws that can compromise the health of your tires. Your tire air pressure will also be measured and corrected. 
Routinely rotating your tires is the key to ensuring they last for as long as possible. Many aspects of your vehicle’s performance will also improve when you have tire service. To schedule a tire service appointment, get in touch with Lundeen Brothers Ford of Annandale Inc. today.
