Taking care of your tires is just as important as looking after the rest of your vehicle. While they might not have moving parts, regular tire maintenance can make a big difference in how your car handles and how long those tires last. One of the simplest and most effective ways to extend their life is by scheduling regular tire rotations.
Tire rotation is a straightforward process where we switch the positions of your tires to ensure they wear evenly. Depending on your vehicle’s drivetrain—whether it’s front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, or all-wheel drive—some tires are going to wear out faster than others. Typically, the drive wheels (the ones that get power from the engine) will show more wear. If you’ve ever noticed that your front or rear tires seem to wear down quicker, this could be why. By rotating your tires regularly, you help them wear evenly, which means they’ll last longer and keep you safer on the road.
So, when’s the best time to get this done? Generally, it’s recommended to rotate your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, or roughly every six months. Conveniently, this is also around the same time you might be due for an oil change. Why not take care of both at once?
