Tire rotation

**Tire rotation** is the process of periodically changing the position of each tire on a vehicle to ensure even tire wear and extend the lifespan of the tires. Regular tire rotation helps maintain balanced handling, improves fuel efficiency, and enhances overall driving safety. It is typically recommended to rotate tires every 5,000 to 8,000 miles, but this can vary depending on the vehicle manufacturer’s guidelines. Common rotation patterns include front-to-back, cross-rotation, and side-to-side. Proper tire rotation is an essential part of routine vehicle maintenance.
