3 Warning Signs Your Tires Need to Be Rotated

1. Uneven wear between tires

Uneven wear doesn’t mean an irregular pattern throughout the tread of one tire, instead it means that when the front tires wear faster than the rear ones. If you notice this happening with your tires, they need to be rotated as soon as possible. The wear difference will soon become insignificant if the tires aren’t worn out completely. However, you may also notice an irregular wear pattern on one of your front tires, where one side has less tread than another. If the tread wear isn’t too severe, the tire can be rotated, but if it is, it’s better to change the item.

2. Pressure loss

​If one tire loses air slowly, yet faster than the others, it may mean too much pressure is put on it. In this case, it would be a good idea to go to a technician for an inspection. Losing small amounts of pressure is normal, about 1-3 but this can serve you as a warning sign. If you check your tire pressure and one tire is at a lower pressure than the other three, it could be having too much weight on it. This is another problem cause by vehicle weight not being distributed evenly. However, it is important to make sure that pressure loss is not due to a leak or a puncture.

Most gas stations either have a dedicated pressure gauge or a pressure gauge attached to the handle of the air compressor. If you can’t find the gas station’s pressure gauge, ask the clerk behind the counter of the store to find out where it’s located. You will typically find it alongside the air compressor and vacuum.
