tire rotation
Tire rotation involves periodically changing the position of each tire on your vehicle to ensure even wear. As your car is driven, tires wear differently depending on their location and role, which can affect handling and longevity. By rotating your tires—switching front tires with rear tires, or crossing them diagonally—you promote uniform wear, improve safety, and extend tire life. It’s a simple maintenance step usually recommended every 5,000 to 8,000 miles, depending on your vehicle and driving habits. Proper rotation helps maintain optimal traction and can save you money by preventing early tire replacement.
