When do you need a Tire Rotation?

Scheduled maintenance

When’s the last time you cracked open your owner’s manual and looked into rotating your tires? You should rotate your tires on a schedule. Your manufacturer may mandate that rotation schedule, but if not, wherever you get your tires installed will. So, you can do one of two things. You can follow that scheduled maintenance, or you can ignore it, and pay for new tires a lot sooner.

Uneven wear and tear

The entire purpose of a rotation is to help the tread of your tires wear and tear evenly. If they’re doing so unevenly - say, the right tires are wearing out far faster than the left ones, or the front tires look much different than the rear ones - that’s a sure sign that it’s time to rotate those things.

Car is pulling

No, you’re not going crazy. If your tires are due for a rotation, it might feel like your car is pulling to the left or to the right all the time. In all likelihood, your car is actually doing that. And a likely culprit are your tires that are in dire need of being rotated.
