Rotating your Tires

Rotating your tires will help you get the most out of your tire purchase. Tire rotation can be beneficial in several ways. When done at the recommended times it will preserve balanced handling and traction of the tires. It will even out tire wear and can provide performance advantages. We recommend tires be rotated every 6,000 miles, whether or not they show signs of wear. Proper tire rotation is an important part of maintaining the manufacturers mileage warranty on your tires.
