Tire Rotations at Integra Tire in Calgary, AB

Tire rotations are essential to increasing the lifespan of your tires. At  Integra Tire in Calgary, we offer expert tire rotation services to help ensure that each of your tires wears evenly, providing a smoother, safer ride and extending the life of your tires.

Why Are Tire Rotations Important?

Tires can wear differently depending on their position on your vehicle. For example, front-wheel-drive vehicles rely heavily on the front axle tires for braking, steering, and forward motion, while the rear tires absorb most of the stopping force. This uneven strain causes rear tires to wear faster than front tires.

In Integra Tire in Calgary, where road conditions can vary, regular tire rotations can help you avoid premature tire wear. Our technicians recommend a tire rotation every 5,000 – 7,000 miles, but it’s always best to consult your owner’s manual for the specific interval recommended for your vehicle.

Types of Tire Rotations

At  Integra Tire in Calgary, we offer a variety of tire rotation methods to meet the specific needs of your vehicle and driving style:

• Modified Cross Rotation – Ideal for non-directional tires on front- or rear-wheel-drive vehicles. In front-wheel-drive vehicles, the front tires are moved straight to the rear, and the rear tires are crossed over to the front. Rear-wheel-drive vehicles reverse this pattern, transferring rear tires straight to the front while crossing the front tires to the rear.
• Four-Tire Cross Rotation – Used on 4-wheel-drive vehicles, this method involves swapping left and right tires before moving the front tires to the rear axle and rear tires to the front axle.
• Straight Rotation – Suitable for tires with directional tread patterns. This method swaps tires directly from front to rear and rear to front.
• Five-Tire Rotation – For vehicles with a full-size spare tire. The spare tire is moved to the right rear position, and the right rear tire is kept as the new spare, ensuring all five tires wear evenly over time.
• Six-Tire Rotation – Designed for dually trucks. The driver’s side tire moves to the back left-hand side, with the remaining tires shifted accordingly. The same rotation is done on the passenger side for balanced wear on all six tires.

At  Integra Tire in Calgary, our experienced team can recommend the best tire rotation method for your specific vehicle to help maximize tire lifespan and maintain performance.
