What Does it Mean to Rotate Tires?

When your tires are rotated, they are quite literally moved from one location on your vehicle to another. This rotating of tires allows for different parts of your car to have an impact on different tires and ensure that the tread is distributed evenly. Over time, it’s important to move the front tires to the back, as they tend to get more wear.

The rotation pattern implemented will depend on the make and model of your vehicle, as dictated by the owner’s manual. Our knowledgeable, certified staff of technicians will follow the recommended rotation schedule for your particular vehicle and assure that they are rotated properly.

Below is a list of tire rotation patterns and the types of tires and vehicles they are best suited for.

Forward Cross	X-Pattern	Rearward Cross	Front-to Rear	Side-to-Side
Front-wheel drive vehicles	Rotates all four tires diagonally	Rear Wheels of four-wheel drive vehicles	Directional/ high performance tires	Differently sized non-directional tires

Reasons to Rotate Your Tires

Rotating your tires every 5,000 miles is a sound plan for maintaining the tread and life of your tires. Adherence to this service schedule will enhance the following:

Overall safety of your vehicle
Extending the tread life of your tires
Preventing uneven tread
Implementing efficient tire replacement plan

Every 5,000 miles is the general rule for tire rotation, and schedules may vary depending on information found in the owner’s manual for your vehicle. You may want to consider scheduling your routine oil change along with your tire rotation, as both tasks are crucial in maintaining the longevity of your vehicle and tend to fall within the same mileage range.

Syncing both of these tasks and scheduling them together will simplify things for you and keep your vehicle maintenance on track. As a rule of thumb, it’s a good idea to have the oil changed and the tires rotated every 3,000 to 5,000 miles.
