Have you been doing a lot of driving around Evergreen? With so much traveling, you’ll want to make sure you keep up with maintenance so that your ride can continue to run smoothly. An important maintenance item that can sometimes be overlooked is your tires. Your tires are the only thing between your vehicle and the road, so it’s important that you regularly service them. One of the easiest ways to service your tires is with tire rotations.
But, how often should you rotate your tires, and how many miles is it to rotate tires? On average, you should be rotating your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. However, this can change depending on a number of factors. For an in-depth breakdown of, “How often should you rotate your tires?” continue on reading. The service team at Lee Motor Company will go over everything you need to know regarding tire rotations!
Truthfully, the answer to “How many miles is it to rotate tires?” depends on your vehicle’s configuration, among other factors. If your vehicle is front-wheel drive (FWD), rear-wheel drive (RWD), or all-wheel drive (AWD), it can affect when to rotate your tires. Let’s take a look at specifics on when to rotate your tires and other tire rotation tips you can keep in mind before you go on all of your Brewton adventures:
FWD & RWD
On FWD and RWD vehicles, you’ll want to rotate your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. But, this can change depending on your specific vehicle, tires, and driving habits. When you’re rotating the tires on a FWD car, you’ll want to move the rear right tire to the front left, the rear left tire to the front right, and then both the front tires directly to the back. The same process applies to RWD cars except the rear tires move to the front and then vice versa.
AWD
So, how many miles is it to rotate tires on an AWD car? AWD vehicles should have tire rotations around every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. But again, this varies based on a variety of different factors. It’s best to reference your owner’s manual or schedule a service appointment for specifics. AWD tire rotations can be a bit more involved, so we recommend leaving it to the professionals to perform.
