How Often Should Tires Be Rotated

Why It’s Important To Rotate Your Tires

A tire rotation means changing the positioning of your tires. Most commonly, this means your front tires will move to the rear or vice versa. This might also mean the tires will switch sides, so your rear left tire will now be positioned as the front right tire.

There are a few reasons why tire rotations are an important part of your vehicle’s maintenance. Here are just some:

• Improves traction: Rotations prevent uneven tire wear and ensure all your tires have the same amount of tread depth.
• Prevents blowouts: Drivers are more likely to experience a blowout if they do not get their tires rotated. Blowouts are inconvenient, costly, and dangerous.
• Maximizes efficiency: Worn tires create what is called drag. Drag impacts your engine’s performance and can eat away at your fuel. Regularly rotating your tires stops the formation of drag, therefore maintaining your fuel consumption.

How Often Should Tires Be Rotated?

It’s recommended that rotating your tires should take place every 5,000 miles or so. A lot of the time, drivers will request a tire rotation at the same time as their regular oil changes.
