When your vehicle’s tires perform this important safety and control task, they leave a minute amount of their surface on the road surface. So, the tire loses a bit of itself every time the tire rotates. This wear will not occur evenly for many reasons including road conditions and driving habits, but failure to get the tires rotated so that they wear evenly poses a safety risk for drivers...
