Tire rotations are an often misunderstood but crucial part of vehicle maintenance. Having your tires rotated regularly will save you money, extend the life of your tires, and improve your vehicle’s performance on the road. So—what is included in a tire rotation service?

What is a tire rotation?

During your vehicle’s tire rotation service, one of our ASE-certified technicians will carefully inspect your tires for appropriate air pressure and unusual wear patterns before removing the tire from the vehicle. The tires will then be moved to a new position, sometimes back to front, left to right, or even diagonally. During a tire rotation service, the technician performing the service should also check your brakes.

Why do you need your tires rotated?

Tire rotation is important because tires tend to wear unevenly. The front tires wear in a different pattern than the rear tires. Moving tires from back to front and left to right can extend the life of your tires by thousands of miles by preventing a tire from experiencing one type of wear for too long. Not only can skipping tire rotation shorten the life of your tires, but it will have a negative impact on your driving experience. It is impossible to have a smooth ride when your tires have severely uneven wear.

How often should you rotate your tires?

For an exact recommendation, refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual. As a rule, every 6,000 to 8,000 miles or at every oil change should be sufficient. If you notice uneven wear on your tires yourself, it’s a good idea to take your car in sooner.
