  • Rotation is recommended at about 10,000 mile intervals. It is a good idea to balance when doing the rotation. Edit: Rate this down if you want, but it is really just common sense sense to check the balance while you already have the tires off the car. Service advisors have their opinions, and ASE certified techs have ours.
  • I have my tires rotated every time I have my oil changed.
  • Discount Tire Company recommends 6000 miles.
  • I am a service advisor at a GM dealership and it is recommended to have them rotated every 10000km. After a tire is balanced you shouldnt need to balance them again, unless you are getting a vibration while driving.
  • If you don't rotate your tires, they will wear out quicker, BUT if you rotate your tires it will cost you something. Consumer Reports said that the money you spend will be the same either way. HOWEVER, if you do your own work, it will be worth money to you to rotate according to schedule; and if the wheels are off the car anyhow, it's worthwhile to have them put back in a rotated pattern. Otherwise, ignore it.
  • the truth of the matter hmmm, rule one as your tires wear the patterm of the tire changes don't you think the balance changes too. it should be done bal and rotate every third oil change or 9000 miles hopefully you change you oil every 3000 miles unless your using synthitic oil.
  • I have not rotated my tires and get 50 to 60 thousand miles on my Jeep and truck. I can not rotate the Z06 tires as they are different sizes front to back. IMHO the tighter tolerances and the modern geometry gives a better roll height, less scrub better roll bars and softer caster/camber settings. All of this gives the tire a more even wear and you would be hard pressed to see the difference in rotated and non rotated tires. Albeit a lighter wallet..
  • i would recommend every oil change or about every 3 to 4 thousand miles
  • You must rotate 4x4 vehicles. If you don't, you increase undo wear because the front tires will wear faster than the rears, do to cornering,and you will be replacing drive trans parts sooner. Tire pressure, along with cornering, does wear the front tires more. You can check this from time to time, and when you see the fronts wearing more than the rears, Rotate them. This keeps the tire wear even, which keeps more rubber on the ground for better traction. Radial tires are for ever changing, within them selves. The first six months, they will change a lot. If you feel a vibration in the steering wheel, that means the fronts need to be checked. If you feel the vibration in the seat, or floor, that indicates the rear. And don't forget, the right tire pressure for the vehicle weight is very important. Not only the tire tread wear, and how much rubber touches the ground, but the side walls will take a beating if it is not correct. Many places will just pump in 32lbs of air, and call it good. I had to argue with one place. He wanted to put 32lbs in. I said no, it calls for 26lbs. Finally, I showed him my door sticker where it stated the proper amount of air. Ha...
  • I've heard every 7,000-10,000 miles. I usually have it done every 2nd or 3rd oil change.
  • For a maximum mileage, rotate your tires according to the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations (consult your vehicle owner's manual), or if not provided, rotate every 5,000 miles using a rotation pattern. *I am a high skilled and qualified mechanic and auto parts specialist.
  • IF SERVIVE INTERVALS ARE EVERY 3750 MILES THE TIRE ROTATION SHOULD BE DONE EVERY 7500 MILES. MOJOR SERVICE INTERVALS ARE USUALLY 15000 FOR MANY BRANDS AND THAT WOULD MAKE THE HALF WAY POINT AT 7500 ALSO. TIRE BALANCING SHOULD BE DONE WHEN THE ROTATION IS DONE.
  • Best achieved mileage is to rotate every 7,000 miles. My vehicle is on its 4th set of new tires. Never rotate the tires by crossing. Only front to rear and rear tires to the front. This keeps the steel belts going in the same direction. Be sure to tell the tire shop this when you go in. By following the above, my tires have lasted at least 80,000 miles.
