To some drivers, tire rotations seem like an unnecessary hassle or an additional expense. However, it is important to rotate your tires regularly, because this maintenance service impacts how many miles you get out of your set. This is why most tire mileage guarantees include them in the user end requirements.
As we navigate the road, the weight distribution on our tires is constantly shifting. This can result in uneven tire wear, where certain edges of the tire tread wear down more rapidly than others. Over time, this uneven wear can compromise the stability and performance of the tire, reducing its lifespan and safety.
Tire manufacturers are well aware of this issue and often include limited warranties to cover premature wear. These warranties come with specific conditions. One common requirement is to ensure that regular tire rotations are performed at recommended intervals, typically every 5,000 to 8,000 miles. As an example, Goodyear tread life limited warranties instruct you to "rotate your tires in accordance with the prescribed rotation patterns as recommended by either the vehicle manufacturer or Goodyear, Dunlop or Kelly Tires."
When you bring your vehicle in for a tire rotation, the tires are swapped from one position on the vehicle to another. For example, the front tires may move to the back, and vice versa. Depending on the tires, the rotation pattern may be different (directional tires require a specific rotation pattern that follows the arrows on the sidewalls). This simple act balances the wear and tear across all four tires, ensuring they wear down evenly. In some instances, it's also possible to include a full-size spare in the rotation. By distributing the workload, tire rotations extend the life of your tires and reduce the likelihood of premature wear.
Another benefit of tire rotations lies in their ability to detect and address alignment issues. Misaligned wheels also cause tires to wear unevenly and prematurely. During a rotation, a trained technician can spot signs of misalignment and recommend the necessary adjustments to bring your wheels back into alignment. By addressing issues promptly, you can prevent further damage to your tires and costly repairs down the road.
Earlier, we mentioned that the a general rule of thumb is to rotate tires every 5,000 to 8,000 miles or during every other oil change. That remains the typical recommendation, but check the tire tread life guarantee to make sure you stay in compliance for coverage. If you don't have tires covered by any guarantee, you should still rotate tires routinely because you want the longest treadlife and best overall value from your set.
We also recommend keeping a folder in your vehicle where you can store car service receipts and proof of tire rotation services. This benefits you in more than one way, because you'll also have proof of the vehicle's maintenance and repair history should you sell it in the future.
