If you’re taking your car to an auto show, then it is important to stay on top of your car’s maintenance so your vehicle is in best shape. Whether you have a customized modern model or antique cars, getting all your parts checked out is a must-do.

One of the key components of car maintenance is tire maintenance – checking tire treads, examining air pressure, and regularly rotating your tires. The team behind Charlotte AutoFair Produced by Hornets Nest Region, AACA in Charlotte, NC, know how important it is to rotate your tires. To keep you informed, below are three benefits from rotating your tires.

• Regularly rotating your tires can save your tire’s tread from wearing out unevenly and this can give you better mileage.
• Tire rotation can extend the life of suspension components in your vehicle.
• Rotating your tires requires removing your wheels which means you get the opportunity to spot any problems in the undercarriage or wheel well. 

Keeping this in mind, the telltale signs that your tires need rotating are noticing uneven tire wear, hearing suspicious noises while driving or feeling any vibrations. As for when you should get your tires rotated, the general rule of thumb is to get them modified every 3,000 miles. The easiest way to remember this is to ask your mechanic to rotate your car’s tires when you get your oil change.
