?One of the secrets to long life (when it comes to your tires, anyway) is regular tire rotations. By treating your vehicle to this essential bit of maintenance from time to time, you can get a lot more out of your tires. This not only helps you save money and avoid premature tire replacements, but it helps your car operate in a safer, more efficient way as well.
So, what is a tire rotation and how often do you need to schedule one?
Why Tire Rotations Matter
Your tires don't wear down at the same rate. Actually, your front tires tend to wear down faster partially due to the added weight of the engine in your car's front end. A tire rotation moves the front tires to the back and the back tires to the front so they can wear down evenly, ultimately extending their lifespan and allowing you to use them longer.
When to Get a Tire Rotation
Tire rotation frequency largely depends on how much you drive, but it's a good idea to schedule a tire rotation whenever you get an oil change. This means that you should rotate your tires every 7,500 miles or so or every six months to help ensure even tire wear.
