🚗 Tire Rotation: Know the Warning Signs
Your tires can tell you when something isn’t right. Uneven wear, vibration, and unusual road noise can all be signs that it’s time to have your tires inspected—and regular tire rotations can help promote more even tread wear.

🔧 3 signs to watch for:
1️⃣ Uneven Wear — One tire or part of the tread is wearing faster than the others.
2️⃣ Vibration — Shaking through the steering wheel, especially at higher speeds.
3️⃣ Noise — New humming, roaring, or uneven road noise.

👉 Don’t wait for a small tire issue to become a bigger—and potentially more expensive—problem.

When in doubt, have your tires inspected!

📍 Stop by our Ellsworth Tire Shop location or call Natasha at 231-588-2300 extension 6 to schedule your rotation today!

We are excited to offer Hoegemyer Hybrids, the #6 seed company in the country, for the 2027 growing season!
