2016 Subaru Crosstrek Tires in Greeley, CO

The manufacturer's published schedule calls for inspecting and rotating the wheels and tires every 6,000 miles. Regular checks can also catch uneven wear before it becomes more pronounced. The right timing may depend on driving conditions and tire condition.

• Inspect and rotate according to the manufacturer's schedule.
• Ask for an inspection when wear appears uneven.
• Include rotation with routine service when appropriate.

The inspection helps identify uneven wear and visible tread-wear indicators. The condition of the tires determines whether rotation or replacement should be recommended. Service findings can also help explain vibration or other changes noticed while driving.

• Measure tread depth on all four tires.
• Rotate the tires using the applicable manufacturer-specified pattern.
• Set placard pressure and reset the monitoring system.

Directional tread requires the tires to remain oriented correctly, while staggered fitments can limit where tires move. For that reason, a specific pattern should not be assumed without checking the vehicle and the tires actually installed. Mike Shaw Subaru Greeley can evaluate the set during service.

• Confirm the drivetrain before selecting the pattern.
• Check whether the tread is directional.
• Review the fitment and wear on all four tires.

On an all-wheel-drive vehicle, mismatched tread depth can load the driveline, which is why the answer differs from a two-wheel-drive vehicle. The drivetrain configuration for this vehicle should be verified before making a replacement decision. An inspection provides the basis for the recommendation.

• Compare tread depth across all four tires.
• Check for uneven wear or visible damage.
• Base replacement on the vehicle and tires being inspected.

A failed penny test is another general sign that warrants attention. Measuring all four tires provides a clearer view of whether the set is wearing consistently. A service inspection can distinguish between a tire that may benefit from rotation and one that needs replacement.

• Look for a tread-wear indicator level with the tread.
• Pay attention to vibration at highway speed.
• Request measurement when wear appears uneven.

The appointment includes tread-depth measurement on all four tires and a rotation or replacement recommendation based on the inspection. The dealership is located at 4720 W 24th Street in Greeley, CO. You can also review current service specials before booking.
