Question

How many times a year should you rotate the tires on your car?

Answer 1

Twice a year

Answer 2

At least every 4 months

Answer 3

Every 5,000-7,000 miles.

Answer 4

At 3000 to 6000 miles.

Answer 5

Depending on how many miles you drive each year and how hard you drive, once a year should be fine...Check your owner's manual for specific guidance.

Answer 6

like 4 months

Answer 7

Twice a year if you drive less than 10,000 miles and if you drive more than once every three months.

Also have them balanced as well.

Answer 8

every 5000 miles should do it

Answer 9

Every 6 to 8 thousand miles. So if you drove your car 1000 miles per year, the answer would be zero.

Answer 10

Rotate every 3 times you change your oil

Answer 11

I usually rotate them every 5000 miles or if I drive a lot, highway, every 10k. The rule of thumb is every 5000 miles however.

Answer 12

The purpose of rotating your tires is to cause them to wear evenly.  If you do this correctly they will all need replacing at the same time.  I personally don't rotate them often, if at all just because I can afford two tires easier than I can afford four.

I also have a front-end alignment done at least once every twelve thousand miles (more frequently if I do a lot of in-town driving). When I replace two tires, I put them on the back (rear-wheel drive in my case) and rotate the back ones to the front, then immediately have an alignment done.

If you wait until you see signs of uneven wear on the front tires before having an alignment done then it is too late and the alignment, while it will help, won't correct the damage done to the tires.

Answer 13

roughly 5000-10000 miles. i rotate mine every 3 oil changes which is about 9000 miles

Answer 14

Everytime you see that your tires are wearing down and if that is the case then you should make sure to get the alignment also.

Answer 15

every other oil change
