- Better Driving Experience
Tyres that haven’t been rotated and balanced could contribute to an uncomfortable driving experience. Vibrations, loud noises, and more are common factors of unbalanced or worn tyres which could cause discomfort over time. To ensure a better driving experience, we highly recommend regular tyre rotation and wheel balancing. What’s more, these processes can identify other issues that are contributing to an unsatisfactory driving experience.
Improving your safety on the road is one of the most important reasons to undertake frequent tyre rotation and wheel balancing. Damaged and worn tyres can significantly impact your vehicle’s tyre pressure, steering and performance, which could lead to an accident or other dangerous situations. Rotating and balancing ensures that the tread on your tyres is worn evenly, therefore giving you better control on the road.
Regularly rotating your tyres and balancing your wheels guarantees that they will wear evenly, thus prolonging the lifespan of your wheels. This means that you can make the most of your set of tyres rather than having to replace one or two individually. What’s more, regular tyre maintenance can improve the lifespan of other related components such as brakes, wheels, axles, wheel bearings, and your vehicle’s suspension system.
As your tyres will be wearing evenly, tyre rotation and wheel balancing eliminate the need for frequent tyre replacement, saving you money in the long run. Furthermore, with proper maintenance, such as tyre rotation and wheel balancing, other parts of your vehicle will be protected. This means that the overall performance and health of your vehicle will be improved, which equals fewer repairs!
- Economical Fuel Consumption
If you’ve noticed that you’re filling up more regularly, this could be a sign that your wheels are damaged. When your wheels aren’t functioning as they should, your engine has to work twice as hard to keep them spinning and your vehicle moving, meaning that your fuel consumption will be higher and more costly. Regular rotation and balancing ensure that your wheels are functioning as they should for the most economical fuel consumption.
When wheels are damaged, they will depreciate the performance and appearance of your vehicle. Therefore, it’s understandable that your vehicle’s value will depreciate with worn or poorly maintained wheels. Whether you are selling your vehicle soon, in the future or have a financed vehicle, proper vehicle maintenance can significantly increase or maintain your vehicle’s value.
