At Christian Brothers Automotive Lafayette, we know tires are a big investment, and we want you to get the most out of them.

Your tires’ lifespan will vary depending on how the vehicle is driven, the type and quality of the tires, their speed rating and other factors (including maintaining correct air pressure). Regular rotation provides for more even tire wear and helps to prolong the life of your tires.

Why is a tire rotation necessary?

If your vehicle has rear-wheel drive, the rear tires wear more quickly than the front. If your vehicle has front-wheel drive, the front tires wear at a faster rate than the rear. The drive axle is where the engine and transmission apply power to in order for the vehicle to move.

Even if you have all wheel or four-wheel drive, the car regularly drives over bumps, potholes and debris in the road, causing alignment issues. Most all-wheel drive systems provide power at different rates between the front and rear drive axles.

This all contributes to uneven wear between the front and rear tires. The best way to keep tires wearing evenly is to rotate them at regular maintenance intervals.

How often to schedule a tire rotation at our car shop in Lafayette

What’s a good rule of thumb for tire rotation? Schedule a rotation with every oil change, or every-other oil change. Whatever time frame you choose, be consistent. Skipping tire rotations could lead to premature wear or cause the tires to wear unevenly. This can lead to more frequent replacement, costing you money in the long-run.
