How Often to Rotate Tires?

If you do a lot of aggressive driving, off-road driving, or towing and hauling of heavy trailers or other objects, you may need to rotate the tires with greater frequency, something like every 5,000 miles. For most casual drivers, however, rotating the tires every 7,500 miles is a good choice. So really:

• Rotate your tires every 5,000 miles if you ask a lot of them during daily driving.
• Rotate your tires every 7,500 to 10,000 miles if you aren't pushing your car hard.
• Refer to your owner's manual for a specific mileage interval.

You can check your owner's manual to see how often a tire rotation should be taking place. There's typically a service schedule in the manual. You can also reach out to our staff and we'll be happy to put together a service outline for you. The more we know about you and your model, the easier it becomes to create an outline that caters to your driving habits.

What Are Signs I Need to Rotate My Tires?

If you haven't rotated your tires in a long time, it's likely one or two tires have worn down more aggressively than the others. And if one or two tires are more worn than the others, it means your car will lose some amount of grip during certain driving maneuvers. So, if you're going along your daily commute and notice slippage around turns, it could be due to unevenly worn tires.

Other signs include:

• Your car pulling to the left or right during acceleration or braking
• An obvious discrepancy between the tread depth from one tire relative to the others
