How Often for Tire Rotation?

What Is a Tire Rotation?

To make sure your tires have equal time on each side of your vehicle, it’s important to make sure you get regular tire rotations. This service has you moving your front tires to the back and your back tires to the front to account for wear on your tires over time.

So, how often should you have your tires rotated? It’s generally a good idea to rotate your tires every 6,000 to 8,000 miles. If you want to be thorough with this service, it’s often a good idea to rotate your tires every time you have your oil changed.

Why Do Your Tires Need to Be Rotated?

The weight of your vehicle is not completely balanced. In many front-wheel drive cars, the weight is placed disproportionately toward the front than the back because of the drivetrain and engine. All that weight puts a lot of friction on the front tires, so you’ll experience uneven wear on the tire tread.

If you don’t regularly rotate your tires, the tire tread will become more worn down on one end of the vehicle, leading to a shorter tire life and poor handling. A very clear sign that your tires need to be rotated is if you can feel vibrations from your tires when driving at higher speeds.
