Tire Rotation
Tire rotation is the process of moving each tire on a vehicle to a different position in order to promote even wear and extend the life of the tires. By regularly rotating the tires, drivers can help prevent uneven wear patterns that can lead to premature tire replacement. Typically, tires should be rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles, or as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
There are several different rotation patterns that can be used, depending on the type of vehicle and tire configuration. The most common rotation pattern involves moving the front tires to the back and vice versa, as well as crossing the tires from one side to the other. This helps ensure that each tire wears evenly over time, leading to a smoother ride and better overall performance. It is important to follow the specific rotation pattern recommended for your vehicle to maximize the benefits of tire rotation.
