How Often Should I Get My Tires Rotated?

Regular tire rotation keeps your car safer, smoother, and can even save you money.

Tire rotation might not seem like one of the most pressing maintenance needs, but it is actually one of the most important. When tires wear down unevenly, your car doesn’t handle as well and can become less safe over time. The good news? Rotating your tires is a quick and simple way to help them last longer and perform better.

So, How Often Should You Rotate Your Tires?

Most manufacturers recommend getting your tires rotated every 5,000 to 7,000 miles. That usually lines up with your oil change schedule, so it’s easy to remember and knock out both at the same time. If you’re not sure what your car needs, check your owner’s manual or ask your mechanic.

Some signs you might be overdue for a tire rotation:

• Uneven tread wear

• Vibrations while driving

• Your car pulls to one side

Rotating your tires means moving them from one position to another, like front to back or side to side, to help them wear more evenly. This helps with traction, fuel efficiency, and extends the life of your tires. If you skip it, you could end up replacing tires more often than necessary.
