Why Should I Rotate My Tires. There are a couple reasons why this is important. The first reason is to insure a long life for your tires. The front Tires wear quicker than the rears. The front Tires are doing all the turning. When turning occurs, the outer tire tread edges carry the weight and wear faster. Over time, outer edge wear will develop on both front tires. If the air pressure is low or if the alignment is off, the edger wear will develop faster and be much worse.

The second reason is to keep the tire noise levels down. Tires that are on the free rolling axle, will develop cupping and flat spotting if the Alignment or the Balance is off. When this occurs, the noise levels will increase while driving. Setting the Alignment and Balancing the tires will stop the wear pattern from getting worse. Now the rear tires on a front wheel drive, and the front tires on a rear-wheel-drive vehicle will need rotating. Crossing them during the rotation even helps more.
If you are driving your car more in town then I recommend Rotating the tires every 5,000 miles. If you are driving your car more on the highway, I recommend Rotating the tires every 10,000 miles. Coordinating the Tire Rotation with the Oil Change Service is the easiest way to do it.
