Description:
Tire rotation refers to the regular practice of switching the position of each tire on the car.
Purpose:
Tire rotation helps to equalize tread wear and is critical to gain maximum life from your tire investment.
Maintenance Tips/Suggestions:
Refer to your owner’s manual for the recommended rotation interval and pattern; generally, a rotation interval of 6,000 miles is recommended. The rotation pattern varies with different makes and models, which shows the tire locations during rotation. Some vehicles have different-sized tires on the front and back or directional tires. This limits the places that a tire may take on the car. When in doubt, check the owner’s manual or consult a professional technician for guidance. Tire rotation time also offers a good opportunity to have the tires and wheels balanced. It’s another step you can take to maximize your tire investment.
