Getting a Tire Rotation for Your CDJR Vehicle

A regular tire rotation is an important part of any car maintenance schedule. It can be quickly performed by our Chrysler-trained technicians, and it provides you with a range of important benefits. As your Chrysler dealer in Cottonwood, AZ, we’d like to tell you more about this service and how it benefits both you and your Chrysler.

Reduce Tire Wear

Your tires suffer abrasion each time you drive. Tiny pieces of rubber wear off, and over time, your tread will wear down. What many drivers don’t know is that your tire positions produce different wear patterns. Each tire position carries a different amount of weight depending on your drivetrain, wheel alignment, and the camber of your tires, that is, whether your tires are designed to point inwards or outwards.

If your tires aren’t rotated, additional damage is caused to the sections that are in contact with the surface. This causes the tires to wear out faster and makes them more prone to punctures or blowouts. Rotating your tires eliminates this problem, as each tire is shifted to a different position to allow it to wear down at a similar rate.

You Save Fuel

Gas prices always seem to be rising, and no one wants to spend more time and money at the pump than they need to. If your tires aren’t rotated, the worn sections that develop, as we saw above, affect your driving. Your tires are designed to move smoothly over the surface. Worn tire sections produce additional friction with the surface.

Any additional friction with the surface requires more effort for your car. This translates into your engine needing to work harder to move your car. As the engine must overcome more friction with the surface, it has to use more fuel. Rotating your tires removes this extra friction, lowers wear on your engine, and improves fuel efficiency.

Protect Your Warranty

Every good tire comes with a warranty. Each tire manufacturer determines the expected lifespan of their tires based on scientific calculations under normal wear conditions. If a tire fails through normal usage within the warranty period, the manufacturer provides a discount on a replacement tire. This discount is prorated based on when the tire failed.

One of the conditions to maintaining your tire warranty is to rotate your tires on​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ a regular schedule. When we rotate your tires, we’ll ensure that they’re correctly rotated according to the manufacturer’s requirements.

These are only a few of the many benefits of getting this simple, inexpensive procedure. If you’d like to know more, or to book a rotation, call our service department at Oxendale CDJR, and we’ll take care of it for you.
