Tire Rotation Guide
Find the correct rotation pattern for your vehicle and calculate your next due date.
Why Rotate Your Tires?
Tires wear unevenly based on their position. Front tires on FWD cars handle steering and acceleration, wearing faster on the outer shoulders. Rotating regularly evens out wear, extending overall tire life by 20-30% and maintaining consistent handling.
How Often Should You Rotate?
Most manufacturers recommend rotating every 5,000-7,500 miles, which conveniently aligns with oil changes. High-performance vehicles may need rotation every 5,000 miles. Always consult your owner's manual.
Directional vs. Non-Directional Tires
Directional tires have a V-shaped tread pattern designed for one rotation direction only. They can only move front-to-back on the same side. Staggered fitments with different front/rear widths may require tire dismounting and remounting. Standard non-directional tires offer the most flexibility.
