How Many Miles to Rotate Tires?

As mentioned before when it comes to knowing how many miles to rotate tires for RWD and FWD models, you’ll want to bring in your vehicle when it has 5,000 to 7,500 miles, while Lakewood drivers with AWD systems will have been used more and should be brought in between 3,000 to 5,000 miles. Tire rotation is also crucial for FWD and RWD systems, as FWD front tires and RWD rear tires are the areas of the vehicle that receive the bulk of the engine power and will wear faster. Keep these additional tips in mind when determine how often should you rotate your tires below:

  • For FWD or RWD cars, tire rotation needs to be performed every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Be sure to consult your owner’s manual for exact figures.
  • If you’re performing a FWD tire rotation yourself, keep in mind to flip sides when moving the rear tires. For example, the rear right tire will go on the front left.
  • However, when moving the front tires to the back, keep them on the same side.
    When rotating tires on an RWD car, invert the process above. Flip sides when moving the front tires to the back, but keep the rear tires on the same side when moving them forward.
  • Keep in mind how you drive, like off-roading, will affect how often you need to rotate your tires. Talk with the service experts at Planet Hyundai to get a better idea of a maintenance schedule that fits your driving habits.
