How the tires on your Chrysler, Jeep or Dodge wear affects your safety, your car’s performance, and how often you’ll need new tires. A regular tire pressure check and tire rotation at your Chrysler dealer will promote even wear across all four tires, improve your car’s fuel economy, and ensure your tires last longer, saving you a heap of cash in the long run.

1. Even Tire Wear

The tires on your car’s front and rear axles wear differently due to their functions. On front-wheel drives, the front tires are used for turning, braking, and accelerating and wear faster than the rear tires. Improper tire inflation will also cause your tires to wear down quicker and unevenly.

To ensure all four tires wear at the same rate, keep your tires inflated to the proper pressure levels and ask your technician to rotate your tires every time you take your vehicle for an oil change.

2. Extended Tire Life

Improperly inflated tires that are not regularly rotated will cause the treads on some tires to wear faster than others. When you keep your tires inflated to the proper PSI and regularly swap them to different positions, all four tires will wear evenly, and you will not have to replace them as often.

3. Improved Fuel Economy

Did you know your tires can cause your car to guzzle more gas? According to the U.S. Department of Energy, you can save up to three percent at the gas pump just by inflating your tires. Regularly switching your tires around will decrease rolling resistance and also help you save on gas.

4. Reduced Vibrations

Irregular tread wear on all four tires will cause vibrations you’ll feel through the steering wheel. Improperly inflated tires will add additional vibrations. Over time the vibrations will affect the wheel alignment and balancing. You’ll enjoy a much smoother ride when you keep your car’s tires inflated to the proper pressure levels and repositioned regularly.

5. Tire Safety

Tires that are properly inflated and regularly rotated have uniform tread depth, ensuring that all four tires make even contact with the road. It will improve your car’s handling ability, increase traction, and give you all the stopping power you need, even on gravel and slippery road surfaces.

6. Save Money

It’s simple and easy to save a ton of cash on gas and tires. Just keep your tires properly inflated and ask your technician to rotate them at regular intervals, and your tires will roll smoothly down the road with less resistance and last longer.
