Driving a Porsche is a fun, safe, and comfortable experience, and we’re sure you want to keep it that way. One of the best and easiest ways to maintain this incredible driving experience is to rotate your tires regularly. Don’t hesitate to visit your Porsche dealer for a tire rotation soon — they have the tools and experience to do it quickly and easily.
1. Rotation Helps to Ensure Your Tires Wear Evenly
Tires do not all wear down evenly! Typically, front tires wear down faster than rear tires, and all tires wear out differently due to your driving habits as well as how many turns you make in certain directions. Therefore, it’s so important to rotate your tires regularly — approximately every six months — and to return to the same dealer or take notes so your tires are placed on different wheels every time, to prolong their wear time.
2. Rotation Helps To Improve Your Vehicle’s Performance
If your tires start wearing unevenly you may notice you feel less control when you are driving. You may also notice your vehicle vibrating or pulling to one side. These are important signs you should rotate your tires as soon as possible to avoid any further wear, or potential blowouts.
3. Rotation Helps To Improve Fuel Economy
When tires wear down unevenly your car needs to work harder to grip the road and make certain turns. This can impact fuel economy, meaning you must stop at the gas station more frequently. Ensuring your tires are regularly rotated helps keep your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently.
4. Rotation Helps To Improve Safely on the Roads
Not only do tires that are worn down unevenly start to affect the car’s performance, but it can also affect the safety. When the tread is worn down unevenly it can cause sliding and slipping in rainy or snowy conditions. If a tire gets worn down too far it can potentially lead to a blowout.
5. Rotation Helps To Extend the Life of Your Tires
Rotating your tires regularly help them to wear down more evenly, so you won’t have to replace your tires more often than you need to. If you skip rotating your tires you will likely need to replace one, or more, of your tires due to the damage done to the ones that wear down faster. Your tire warranty may also require you to rotate your tires, please read it carefully.
