No matter how long you’ve been driving in Kettering and Springboro, you’ve likely been told that, like oil changes, your car requires routine tire rotations to help it perform. Why rotate tires? And what does rotating your tires do, anyway? Well, tire rotation is designed to achieve an even rate of treadwear across all four of your tires. This not only helps your tires last longer, but more importantly, ensures you always have good traction.

Every time you accelerate, brake, or turn while out and about in Bellbrook, you’re creating friction underneath your tires. Friction causes your tire treads to wear out, but depending on the type of drivetrain your vehicle employs, the treadwear doesn’t occur at an even rate. This means that two of your tires could be significantly more worn than the others, which would give you poor traction on the road. This is what rotating your tires does — it helps ensure that all four tires are wearing out at a balanced rate.
Now that you understand why we rotate tires and what tire rotation does, you’re probably wondering how often to rotate tires. A good rule of thumb to follow is every 5,000–8,000 miles. However, how often to rotate your tires might vary depending on your drivetrain, vehicle type, and driving habits. You should check your owner’s manual as the best source of truth, but you can also contact our service advisors to get help creating a personalized rotation schedule.
Whether you entrust our service department to rotate your tires or you prefer to rotate your tires yourself, it’s very important that you follow a strict schedule. If you don’t rotate your tires regularly, your tire tread will start to wear out unevenly, which can cause the following issues:
