Being a responsible vehicle owner means keeping up on several preventative maintenance tasks, from oil changes to brake repairs. Compared to jobs like these, tire rotation—that is, simply changing the position of your tires on your vehicle—may not sound all that significant. But, as it turns out, rotating your tires on a regular basis can actually help them last longer and enhance your car’s handling.
On the other hand, ignoring tire rotation will make things harder for your vehicle in the long run. If you don’t rotate your tires every so often, your treads will wear out faster than expected. Making matters worse, they could wear unevenly, creating further issues as a result. To ensure these problems don’t arise, make a point of getting tire rotation taken care of every 3,000–7,000 miles (or simplify your maintenance schedule by booking this service along with oil changes).
