How Often Should I Rotate My Tires?

Updated: Oct 5, 2022

Keeping up with your vehicle’s maintenance schedule will help keep your vehicle running its best for years to come. One of the most common maintenance items on a vehicle is a tire rotation. Today, we are going to look at why you need to rotate your tires and how often you should have them rotated.


Why Do You Need To Rotate Tires?

Rotating tires helps to ensure that all 4 tires wear evenly to get the most life out of them. The front tires commonly wear quicker due to the friction from turning and added weight of the engine. Rotating them with the opposite tires from the rear help to ensure all 4 tires are getting adequate wear.


How Often Should I Rotate My Tires?

Tires should be rotated every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Depending on how you use the vehicle and the type of drivetrain you have, you may have to adjust your service interval. Talk to one of our tire experts to discuss your tire rotation needs.

When Should I Replace My Tires?

Not all tires are created the same, so they each have their own life expectancy. You can find the expected mileage rating for your tires online or at your local tire shop. The actual lifetime of your tires will depend on a variety of different factors, so it is a good idea to learn how to check your tires. The most accurate way to check your tires is by using a tire depth tool. Since most people do not own this tool, you can use a simply penny to check your tires. With Lincoln’s head facing down, place the penny in the tread of the tires. If you can see the top of his head when looking at eye level with the tread, it is time to replace your tires.
