As you drive through Aurora every day, your tires do not wear evenly. Every time you turn, for instance, the outer edges of the front tires experience more wear while the rear tires will tend to wear more evenly. It is for this reason that failing to rotate your tires will cause them to wear out at different rates, requiring replacement sooner than would otherwise be necessary.
If your vehicle is front-wheel or rear-wheel drive, a tire rotation is recommended every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. All-wheel drive vehicles require more frequent rotation at every 3,000 to 5,000-mile interval, because all four tires are actively engaged, resulting in faster wear. For a model-specific interval, we recommend you consult your owner’s manual.
