The Importance of Tire Rotations 

Getting your tires rotated routinely for your Crosstrek or Forester is essential to its overall health as it promotes even distribution of wear, as well as enhances the performance of your Subaru model to ensure your safety. When you keep up with rotations, your vehicle is able to experience better fuel efficiency and handling. Your vehicle's tires’ lifespan will also be able to last longer. If you are worried about the current conditions of your tires, visit our Service Department at your earliest convenience.   

Tire Rotation Process

When you come to us for a tire rotation service, you will be met with factory-trained technicians that will be ready to make sure your vehicle is ready for your drives on Route 113. At Buchanan Subaru, we offer a complimentary multi-point inspection of essential systems within the vehicle by making sure it’s road safe. Upon doing this, we will then start to assess the health of the tires by making sure they are inflated evenly at the correct levels. Then, we will check the tire tread depth and overall condition of wear and tear. Based on the specific drivetrain of your Subaru, we will determine the correct rotation pattern to use for your model, and swap front to back depending on the drivetrain. Before initiating this process, we will lift the vehicle, remove the tires, and inspect the brakes and rotors for an easy service, followed by the re-mounting of the tires. Schedule an appointment with us today to get this service, and keep your Forester's tires in good condition as you travel to Heron Park.

Warning Signs

One thing that can happen if you avoid getting your vehicle’s tires rotated when necessary is having to replace a single tire earlier than the rest. If you hit a pothole or are driving on rough terrains with tires that have been unevenly driven on, your vehicle is at a higher risk of puncturing a tire and needing this done. This is a point we don’t want you to get to, so be aware of warning signs. One is if you experience a loss of control when driving as this is an indication of uneven wear and tear. Another telltale red flag is if you feel your steering wheel is vibrating. A sensation of your handling being uneven, bumpy, or shaky could indicate tire imbalance. Finally, watch out for tire pressure loss. You can come visit us at Buchanan Subaru near Berlin, MD, if you feel it’s time to check those tires!
