When To Rotate Your Tires | Larry H. Miller Ford Lakewood

What you need to know about tire rotation

If you never rotated your tires some tires would wear out faster than others.
Some tire treads on individual tires could wear unevenly with inside or outside wearing out first.
Uneven tread wear is unavoidable because the weight of a car is not distributed evenly to all four corners.
Weight of a front engine causes the front tires to carry more weight.
Front tires take care of the steering duties.
When brakes are applied the weight of the car shifts forward.
If alignment is off some tires will drag and wear poorly.
Worn out struts and suspension can alter the weight distribution.
Exact rotation pattern depends on your vehicle and the tires: Check your Owner's Manual.

Standard Rotation Pattern

Move the front tires straight to the rear
Move rear tires to the front but cross them over
Right rear tire ends up on left front
The reverse pattern is also common (rear to front, front to rear with a crossover)
Exact pattern is not as important as long as you are consistent
Makes sure every tire spends time at each corner of your car
