Signs your tires need to be rotated
- Uneven wear. When you look at tires and see that the front tires and showing more wear than the rear tires, this is a sign that it’s time to rotate. Most vehicles have the bulk of their weight on the front end, so this is why the front tires wear out faster.
- Vehicle vibration. If you’ve been noticed that your vehicle vibrates even on smooth roads, this could be a sign that one side of a tire is getting worn down more than the other.
- Air pressure loss. If you notice that one tire seems to be losing pressure faster than the others, this could be due to uneven wear. Make sure to check all of the tires for uneven wear and punctures.
Signs your tires need to be balanced
- Vibration. Just like when your tires need to be rotated, you’ll start to feel vibrations. However, you can tell the tires need to be balanced when the vibration is felt in the steering wheel, floorboard or seat.
- Uneven tire wear. If the weight of the wheel gets spread unevenly, this can lead to uneven wear, which then leaves to needing to get your tires balanced.
- Poor fuel economy. Unbalanced tires can lead to uneven wear which means the engine will have to work harder to generate more power to keep them spinning at a constant speed.
