When it time for tire rotation or replacement, choose the experienced professionals at Bessemer Tire & Automotive, Inc. How will you know you should see us? The Rubber Manufacturers of America recommends you refer to your owner’s manual for rotation recommendations - if there are none, tires should be rotated about ever 5,000 miles.
The Rubber Manufacturers of America recommends this checklist to help you maintain your tires between rotations:
Pressure - Under inflation results in unnecessary tire stress, irregular wear, loss of control and accidents. A tire can lose up to half of its inflation pressure and not appear to be flat!
Alignment - A bad jolt from hitting a curb or pothole can throw your front end out of alignment and damage your tires. Have a tire dealer check the alignment periodically to ensure that your car is properly aligned.
Rotation - Regularly rotating your vehicle’s tires will help you achieve more uniform wear. Unless your vehicle’s owners manual has a specific recommendation, the guideline for tire rotation is approximately every 5,000 miles.
Tread - Advanced and unusual wear can reduce the ability of tread to grip the road in adverse conditions. Visually check your tires for uneven wear, looking for high and low areas or unusually smooth areas. Also check for signs of damage.
