Most vehicle manufacturers and automotive experts recommend getting your tires rotated approximately every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, or about every six months. This interval aligns well with typical oil change schedules, so many drivers make it a habit to rotate tires whenever they get an oil change

. The exact frequency can vary depending on your vehicle’s drivetrain and driving habits:

• Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) and Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) vehicles: Rotate tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. The rotation pattern differs slightly between FWD and RWD to ensure even wear

• All-Wheel Drive (AWD) vehicles: May require more frequent rotations, around every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, due to different wear patterns

Regular tire rotation helps promote even tire wear, extends tire lifespan by about 30%, improves traction and fuel economy, and contributes to a smoother, safer ride

. Always check your vehicle owner's manual for the manufacturer’s specific recommendations, as some models may have unique requirements

. In summary:

• Rotate tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles (about every 6 months)
• Rotate tires at every oil change if possible
• Follow specific rotation patterns based on drivetrain (FWD, RWD, AWD)
• Consult your owner’s manual for exact guidance

This routine maintenance helps maximize tire life and vehicle safety.
