Taking good care of your tires is one of the most important parts of staying safe on Rome roads. Knowing how to do a tire rotation and what purpose it serves can help you choose whether to rotate your tires yourself or take your vehicle to a local service center. Follow our guide to learn how to do a tire rotation and why you should do it.
Because your driving habits and the road conditions around your home don’t interact with every tire the same way, your tires will always wear unevenly. For example, when you turn the outside edges of the front tires wear more than that of the rear tires. This means that if you were to keep your tires in place, they’d wear down more quickly and you’d have to replace them more often. Rotating your tires spreads out the wear and keeps your tires even.
The rule of thumb is to rotate your tires every 5,000-7,000 miles for front and rear-wheel drive vehicles. For all-wheel-drive vehicles, all the tires are engaged as you drive in Acworth, so they’ll wear more quickly and you’ll need to rotate them every 3,000-5,000 miles. Your owner’s manual will have more specifics.
