Benefits of Rotating Your Tires

When you take a moment and rotate your tires, you are helping your Chevy stay in prime condition. When you drive, a lot of pressure is exerted on your tires and depending on if you're front-wheel or rear-wheel drive, your tires have different pressure points. For example, if your car is a front-wheel drive, most of the pressure and friction occurs with your front tires, resulting in them wearing down faster than the wheels at the back of your car. When you rotate your tires, though, you are giving your tires a break and equalizing the pressure. Going off of the example above, the front-wheel tires would then be placed at the back of your car, while the rear wheels would be rotated to the front, helping to wear your tires down more gradually.

Tire Rotation Schedule

So how often should you be rotating your tires? Although it does vary from person to person, a safe answer is at least every 5,000 miles. A common trick to remember is when you take your car in for an oil change, talk to your technician to see if it's a good time to rotate your tires. Depending on the weather conditions in which you drive and if your car is front, rear, or all-wheel drive, you may have to rotate your tires more or less often.

Tire Rotation Patterns

Depending on whether or not your car is front, rear, or all-wheel drive, our technicians may recommend a different tire rotation pattern. We have highlighted a few of the most common below.
