Rotating your tires during routine maintenance ensures even tread wear, which extends the life of your tires and improves handling. Tires wear differently depending on their position, with front tires often wearing faster due to steering. By rotating them every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, you’ll get more miles out of your tires and improve safety. Tire rotation also helps prevent uneven tire wear, which can affect traction and fuel efficiency.
