Tire rotation is an important maintenance service that makes your tires less prone to uneven wear and blowouts, so it&rsquo;s definitely one of the tire services you&rsquo;ll want to stay on top of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When To Rotate Your Tires<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer to how often you have to rotate your tires will depend on several factors, such as your driving habits and your vehicle&rsquo;s year, make, and model. One of the biggest factors you&rsquo;ll also have to consider is the type of vehicle you drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FWD and RWD Vehicles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/rwd-vs-fwd-differences-in-towing-rain-snow-drifting-and-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"front-wheel drive (FWD) and rear-wheel drive (RWD) vehicles\">front-wheel drive (FWD) and rear-wheel drive (RWD) vehicles<\/a>, you&rsquo;ll want to go in for a tire rotation every 5,000 to 7,500 miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the engine sends power to a specific set of tires, tires on these vehicles tend to wear out faster than other tires. For example, the front tires of FWD vehicles typically wear out faster than the rear tires, and a tire rotation can help balance this out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our expert technician <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/author\/anthonyharlin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Anthony Harlin\">Anthony Harlin<\/a> shares, &ldquo;Plus, driving habits can cause one side to wear more than the other like the left front tire on my car wears more than the right side. If I wait too long to rotate that left front to the right rear, then it will be too far gone.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">AWD Vehicles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All-wheel drive (AWD) vehicles are a little more high maintenance and need a tire rotation every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. However, the tires on AWD vehicles wear at different speeds, so it&rsquo;s best to check what your owner&rsquo;s manual says just to be sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Signs It&rsquo;s Time for a Tire Rotation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you don&rsquo;t have to wait until you reach a certain number of miles before rotating your tires. The idea of a tire rotation is to avoid things like uneven tire wear, vibrations, pulling, etc. If you are experiencing these things, you might have waited too long. This is why shorter periods between tire rotations are important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s a good idea to get a tire rotation as soon as you notice any issues with your tires, such as the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bald Tires<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>How are your tires faring? Are any of them sporting any bald spots? If you can&rsquo;t see the tread patterns anymore, then you don&rsquo;t just need a tire rotation. You need to replace your tires too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vehicle Pulling to One Side<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Is your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/why-is-my-car-pulling-to-the-left-causes-and-other-faqs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"vehicle constantly pulling to one side\">vehicle constantly pulling to one side<\/a> even though you&rsquo;re trying to drive in a straight line? This usually happens because of uneven tire wear, but it can also be a sign that you need a wheel alignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/a-short-course-on-wheel-alignment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"wheel alignment\">wheel alignment<\/a>, mechanics are also likely to perform a tire rotation as a preventive measure against uneven tire wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Poor Fuel Efficiency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know forgetting to rotate your tires can reduce your fuel economy by up to 3%? This number might seem small now, but it can certainly increase the longer you delay your tire rotation. Without proper tire rotation, your vehicle will have to compensate in other ways that cost more fuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"article-search-widget\">\n<div class=\"cp-search\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/w_auto,dpr_auto\/carparts\/logos\/badge_wordmark\/full_color\/CP_LOGO_COLOUR_RGB\" alt=\"CarParts.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"cpsearchform\" name=\"cpsearchform\" action=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/search\" method=\"get\" target=\"_blank\" accept-charset=\"character_set\" aria-label=\"search CarParts.com\">\n<input type=\"text\" class=\"keyword\" name=\"q\" placeholder=\"Search for parts on CarParts.com\" value=\"\" aria-label=\"Search CarParts.com\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn-search\" value=\"Search\" aria-label=\"Search\">\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Tire Rotation Necessary?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you want your tires to last as long as possible? If the answer is yes, then tire rotation is a necessary service for your vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tire rotation prevents uneven tire wear, which can cause your tires to go bald or worse. Plus, taking your vehicle in for a tire rotation is a great opportunity for your mechanic to inspect your tires thoroughly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Happens if You Don&rsquo;t Rotate Your Tires?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, by not rotating your tires on time, you&rsquo;ll end up with two tires worn out faster than the other two. If you rotate your tires properly, all four tires should last the same amount of time.<br>But that&rsquo;s not the only thing that happens when you skip a maintenance cycle. Here are some other negative effects of putting off a much-needed tire rotation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hydroplaning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know the treads on your tires actually serve a purpose? They aren&rsquo;t just there to make your tires look unique. Whenever you drive through a puddle, the grooves on your tires help channel away water. They shoot water away from your tires while making sure that your tires stay in contact with the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tires worn out from a lack of tire rotation will only glide on slippery roads, making it hard to control your vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Poor Traction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you often drive on snowy roads, then you&rsquo;ll know just how important it is for your tires to have extra-deep treads. Forgoing a tire rotation and allowing your tires to go bald can make it hard to drive safely in these conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Excessive Heat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The great thing about tire treads is that they don&rsquo;t just keep water out. They draw air in to create a cooling effect for your tires too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As your tires spin, they&rsquo;re constantly in contact with the road, creating friction that can cause your tires to overheat if their treads are worn out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Blowouts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Worn-out tires are a lot more prone to blowouts, which can put you and your passengers at risk of getting into an accident. For your own safety, you&rsquo;ll want to get a tire rotation as soon as you notice your tires going bald.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 4<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>When was the last time you visited your local mechanic for a tire rotation?
