Keep your tires in top condition with routine rotations!
While it might seem like a small task, regular tire rotations are one of the best ways to keep your Mitsubishi running smoothly and safely. At Bakersfield Mitsubishi, we make it easy to stay ahead of uneven wear, helping extend the life of your tires and keeping your drive comfortable and fuel-efficient.
Why Are Tire Rotations Important?
Your tires wear down at different rates depending on where they’re mounted on your vehicle. The front tires, for example, usually wear faster due to turning and braking. By rotating them regularly, you ensure all tires wear evenly, which comes with key benefits:
- Longer Tire Life: Rotation helps prevent premature wear, maximizing how long your tires last.
- Better Handling & Safety: Evenly worn tires improve traction, steering response, and braking, especially in changing road conditions.
- Improved Fuel Economy: When your tires wear evenly, your vehicle rolls more smoothly and efficiently.
- Prevents Bigger Issues: Regular rotations can reveal signs of suspension problems or alignment issues early.
How Often Should You Rotate Your Tires?
Most manufacturers recommend a tire rotation every 5,000 to 8,000 miles. Your Mitsubishi owner’s manual has the specifics, but if you're unsure, our service team in Bakersfield is happy to provide guidance based on your driving habits and vehicle type.

What Exactly is a Tire Rotation?
A tire rotation involves moving each tire to a different position on your vehicle—front to back, side to side, or even diagonally. The goal is to ensure that no single tire wears out faster than the others, which helps improve performance and extend overall tire life. It’s one of the simplest ways to protect your investment in your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What happens during a tire rotation?
During a tire rotation, each tire is moved to a new position to promote even wear. This might include front-to-back or diagonal changes, depending on your vehicle's drivetrain.
Q. Can I skip tire rotations if my tires look fine?
It’s not a good idea. Even if your tires look fine, internal wear can still occur. Skipping rotations can lead to uneven tread, vibrations, or a rougher ride down the line.
Q. How long does a tire rotation take?
Most tire rotation services take around 30 to 60 minutes. If you're getting additional services, it might take a bit longer.
Q. What are the signs that I need my tires rotated?
If you notice uneven tread wear, your car pulling to one side, or vibration while driving, it’s probably time to rotate your tires. Regular checks help catch these signs early.
Q. Do I need an alignment every time I rotate my tires?
No, not every time. But if we notice uneven wear during rotation, it could indicate an alignment issue. We’ll inspect and let you know if any adjustments are needed.
Q. Does rotating tires affect tire pressure?
Yes, it can. Different tire positions may need different pressures. As part of your rotation, we always check and adjust pressure to factory-recommended specs.
