Tire Rotations and Changes

Tires are the only part of your vehicle with constant contact with the road. Because of that, your tires need to be inspected, rotated, and changed more frequently than other components in your vehicle. That's why we recommend inspecting your tires monthly and getting them rotated every six months, 5,000 miles, or during your next oil change. Rotating your tires will not only extend their lifespan but will also help maintain your Subaru's overall performance.

As for tire changes, your Subaru's tires should last around five to six years depending on your driving habits and lifestyle demands. Changing out your tires during the winter or when traversing off-road can help extend your all-season tires' lifespan. Staying up-to-date on your tire rotation and change needs can also help reduce the risk of potential accidents or easily avoidable vehicle damage as the result of vehicle neglect.

Tire Wear

Visually inspecting your Subaru's tire tread at least once a month is highly recommended and can help reduce the risk of causing alignment problems, braking issues, and more. During the winter, checking your tires before every drive is also recommended to ensure you have proper inflation and that you have sufficient tread life to take on the wet and icy roads.

Did you know you could use a penny to test your tire tread depth? It's true! All you have to do is insert a penny into the tread, Lincoln's head down. If the top of Lincoln's head touches the tread face, your tires are at 2/32" depth, the minimum required by law, and it's time for a replacement. Additional ways to see if your tires are still okay include:

  • Less traction or less responsive braking
  • Hydroplaning in wet weather
  • Noticing a rougher or noisier ride
  • Loss of control while cornering
  • Noticeable tread loss

While Subaru's are engineered to endure a wide variety of climates and conditions, having the proper tires will greatly improve your overall safety and driving experience.

Yes, because the inertia of braking or cornering transfers weight to the front tires, wearing them more quickly and unevenly. Rotating your tires regularly will help ensure even wear, better performance, and help extend their lifespan.

It’s recommended to change your tires at least every six-year or sooner depending on your driving habits.

Rotating your tires every six months or 5,000 miles will help protect you and your tires.

The added resistance deflated tires produce makes them dangerous, under-inflated tires can result in premature wear to your vehicle, poor fuel economy, and poor handling.

At least once a month after your car has been off for at least 3 hours to ensure they aren’t too hot and giving off inaccurate readings.

Simply put, a four-wheel alignment uses sophisticated lasers and sensors to determine the wheel angles of your Subaru. If the computer detects that they are out of alignment – according to specifications – our factory-trained technicians make the proper adjustments to bring them back into alignment.

An out-of-balance wheel can produce multiple complications with wear on shocks, bearings, and other suspension parts.
