The vehicle will not respond as quickly to your steering movements, which could lead you to over or under correct the vehicle and crash.

Why Do Tires Wear Unevenly? 
 
The front of your vehicle has significantly more weight than the rear of the vehicle. With the weight of the engine and the transfer of weight to the front of your vehicle during turns and braking, the front tires work significantly harder than the rear tires. Because of this, the tire treads on the front of your vehicle will wear significantly faster than the rear. If you fail to have your tires rotated, the handling of your vehicle can be significantly altered. However, if you notice that only one side of the tire is wearing, you may be experiencing balance or alignment problems.
 
Tire Rotation Rules 
 
When you are thinking about your tire rotation in Virginia Beach, VA, the most important factor is to keep in mind your tires should wear evenly. Because of the amount of additional wear on the front tires, the first rotation is usually to replace the front tires with the rear tires. On the other hand, when your technician at Cavalier Ford Greenbrier can swap the front passenger side tire and the rear driver side, which is called a crisscross rotation. However, the crisscross rotation isn't possible for vehicles with different sized tires in the front and back. In this case, only the rear tires can be swapped with rear tires and the front tires with each other.
 
 
 
 
You shoul'd also make sure you include the spare tire in the rotation. When you include your spare tire, you are ensuring that all five tires are wearing evenly.
