How Often Should You Rotate Your Tires?

Tire rotation is one of the cheapest, easiest ways to get more miles out of a set of tires, and it is one of the most commonly skipped. Here is the honest rundown.

How often should you rotate?

A good rule of thumb is every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, which for most drivers lines up neatly with every other oil change. Your front and rear tires wear at different rates, so moving them around evens out that wear.

Why it matters

• Your tires last longer and wear evenly
• Better traction, which matters on wet and snowy Columbus roads
• A smoother, quieter ride
• Many tire warranties actually require regular rotation

It is a small job that pays for itself in tire life. We usually rotate tires right alongside an oil change, so it is one less trip. Schedule a visit whenever you are due.
