A tire rotation involves switching your GMC’s tires to different positions to ensure uniform wear across all four tires. Regularly rotating your vehicle’s tires will improve handling and performance, extend the life of your tires, and save you money. Rely on the professionals at your GMC dealership who understand the importance and benefits of regular rotations to keep your tires in excellent condition and you safe behind the wheel.
Rotations Services
Our service department employs GMC-certified technicians dedicated to offering top services to keep your vehicle in excellent condition. They conduct professional rotations to ensure even wear and extended durability. During the rotation process, each tire is carefully inspected for signs of wear and damage, while the sidewalls are checked for damage such as cracks, cuts, and bulges.
The technicians also ensure the tires are inflated to the recommended pressure levels. Your tires’ rotation is carried out according to the correct rotation pattern for your specific vehicle type.
Rotation Patterns
Rotating your tires according to the correct rotation pattern that suits your type of vehicle is essential. If you drive a front-wheel-drive car, the GMC technician will transfer the front tires to the rear, while the rear tires will be crossed over and mounted on the front of your vehicle.
All four tires change positions on all-wheel, four-wheel, and rear-wheel drive vehicles. The right front and left rear and the left front and right rear tires are switched. If your front and rear tires are of different sizes, the front tires are swapped to different sides of your car along with the rear tires.
Rotation Intervals
Rotations at regular intervals are necessary since front and rear tires perform different tasks and wear at different rates. GMC recommends switching your vehicle’s tires every 7,500 miles or at least twice yearly to prevent irregular wear. Your specific model’s rotation intervals and patterns are in your owner’s manual or speak to your GMC technician for more information.
Benefits of Regular Rotation
Getting your tires regularly rotated by certified GMC technicians has numerous benefits. Regular rotations ensure that all four tires wear evenly, which will significantly reduce vibrations that can cause damage to your car’s components and affect the wheel alignment and balancing.
Regular rotations also improve your vehicle’s handling, giving you better traction to brake, corner, and accelerate, especially on wet, slippery, or uneven road surfaces, without the risk of losing control over your vehicle. Plus, when your tires wear evenly, you won’t have to replace them as often, saving you money in the long run.
Regularly rotating your vehicle’s tires at the recommended intervals will extend their lifespan, help you save money, and increase your safety on the road.
