how often should i get my tires rotated

Tires should generally be rotated every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or about every 6 months. The most common recommendation is to rotate tires at the same interval as oil changes, approximately every 5,000 miles, which helps ensure even tread wear, better tire performance, safety, and fuel efficiency. The exact interval can depend on factors like the vehicle type, drivetrain (front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive), tire type, and driving habits. For all- wheel-drive vehicles, tire rotations may be recommended more frequently, around every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. Checking the vehicle owner's manual for specific recommendations is always best. Regular tire rotation helps extend tire life by evenly distributing wear and maintaining consistent performance and safety on the road. Neglecting tire rotation can lead to uneven tire wear, reduced traction, handling issues, and increased risk of tire failure.
