Too many people underestimate the importance of rotating the tires on their Pontiac cars. Unfortunately, they are not getting the most out of their tires by ignoring this simple procedure. Here are some facts about your tires and why you should rotate the tires on your Pontiac cars according the manufacturer’s suggestions.
• Tires wear unevenly. Without rotating them, one tire could be going bald while the others still have most of their tread. This is bad for your fuel economy and other reasons.
• Your front tires typically carry about 60 percent of the car’s overall weight. In addition, they are also responsible for nearly 80 percent of the braking.
• Left turns are statistically faster than right turns. Since drivers tend to take left turns faster, this puts more stress and wear on the right front tire.
• Tires on the right side of the car are more susceptible to road hazards, including curbs, potholes and other dangers. This makes them wear out faster, too.
• Many manufacturers recommend rotating your tires about every 5,000 miles.
If you want to take care of your Pontiac cars and make your tires last as long as possible, don’t ignore the importance of rotating your tires. It’s a simple process and it only takes minutes…even if you do it yourself!
