This is essentially moving tires from one position to the other. For instance, if you notice the front tires are wearing off faster, you can swap them with the rear tires. The front wheels will often wear faster because of the weight of the engine.
Tire rotation is also important for maintaining traction, especially during wet weather conditions. Proper tire rotation ensures there is no uneven wear on your tires, which could cause them to fail prematurely. The practice also helps prevent hydroplaning and improves handling, particularly at high speeds or when cornering.
How often should you rotate your tires?
Tire rotations are typically performed every 6,000 miles or 12 months. However, some manufacturers recommend doing it more frequently, depending on driving patterns, or if you have a performance vehicle with low-profile tires, which tend to wear out faster. Over time, all four tires will likely wear down evenly due to the stress placed on them by everyday driving conditions. However, if one tire looks significantly different than the others, you should consider rotating.
