How Often Should You Get Your Tires Rotated?

While it may not be as frequent as getting your car washed or oil changed, tire rotations are a necessary part of your car maintenance routine.

How often should you get your tires rotated?

According to Firestone, most vehicle manufacturers recommend that you get your tires rotated approximately every 7,500 miles or six months. However, every vehicle has its own maintenance requirements, so it's best to refer to your car owner's manual.

Why are tire rotations important in your routine car maintenance plan?

A tire rotation is simply switching the front and rear tires. This is important because since the front tires typically work harder than the others, rotating them helps distribute the burden among all four tires evenly. Regular tire rotations reduce your risk of a tire failure or blowout and are also said to help improve traction and fuel efficiency.
