how often should tires be rotated?

Answer 1

I have mine rotated every other oil change. About 6,000 - 7,000 miles.

Answer 2

Regular and proper tire rotation promotes uniform wear. All-season tires should be rotated in a "modified X" pattern, meaning only the tires being moved to the drive axle are crossed to the opposite side of the vehicle. The remaining two tires are moved from the drive axle to the free rolling axle, remaining on the same side of the vehicle. This method of rotation helps promote even and uniform treadwear pattern for all four tires.

The only exception to this would be the use of "directional" tires. These tires should remain on the same side of the vehicle and be rotated straight forward and straight back. If you have a four-wheel drive vehicle, we recommend crossing both pairs of tires to their new axle positions.

We recommend tire rotation at least every 6,000 miles. It is a good idea to rotate four-wheel drive vehicles every 4,000 miles. Check your vehicle owner's manual for the manufacturer's rotation recommendations. The first rotation is the most important. When tires are rotated, inflation pressures must be adjusted to the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations

Answer 3

do what ya want but i will answer with my reccomendation to ALL my customers. you should change oil, rotate tires and correct air pressure every 3000 to 4000 miles. preventive maintance is the best way to care for a vehicle.
rotation should be for a front wheel drive vehicle: cross the front tires to the rear and bring rear tires straight forward; for a rear wheel drive: cross rear to front and front tires straight to rear.
if for some reason you are running bias-ply tires just front to rear, but 99% of the tires on the road are radial tires. ask ya tire guy to which ya have. if ya rotate at this mileage any abnormal wear patterns are prevented. on air pressures, check your tire. all tires are required to have max. pressure stamped on them by d.o.t. (department of transportation) if stamped 35psi run 32-34 cold, stamped 44psi run 40-42. always run about 10% less of stamped pressure as tires warm up and create a few psi from normal use. this may change the ride quality of vehicle but will make tires last. also have wheel alignment checked every 20,000-30,000 miles by a reputable buisness. alignment being "in spec" doesn't mean that you will have good tire wear.

Answer 4

This information is in your vehicles owners manual but a good rule of thumb is every 6-7,500 miles - or about every other oil change for most vehicles.

I've worked in the tire industry for 5 years so no guessing on this one.

Answer 5

Every 5,000 miles. Don't rotate before 4,000 miles because you won't put enough miles on your tires and won't get the maximum tread life. I rotate front to back, I believe that is the most commont roatation among tire shops

Answer 6

I just asked my Goodyear tire guy that question and he told me that every time you change your oil, you should rotate your tires And most important - keep the right amount of pressure in your tires!

Answer 7

That depends. Refer to your owner's manual for exact guidelines, but most manufacturers recommend rotating tires roughly every 5,000 to 10,000 miles. Again, see your owner's manual for specifics.

Answer 8

My Manuel said; every 5,000 mi., since the average miles driven per year is 15,000 mi I would say 3 times, l. after winter 2. end of spring 3. before football season. What cha think? or before vacation if your driving?

Answer 9

Car manufacturers recommend a tire change every 6000 miles.

Answer 10

3000 to 6000 miles depending on the car and alignment should be done every 30,000 miles if you notice abnormal wear on the tires then have the front end checked out it may be loose and should be taken care of
