Did you know that rotating your tires is very important? Do you know why? Do you know how often this should be done? There are a few very important reasons.
The benefits of tire rotation can be seen in several different ways. Rotating your tires can preserve balanced handling and traction and even out tire wear. Most mechanics say that you should have your tires rotated every 7,500 miles, or every other oil change. If you only get your oil changed every 10,000 miles then you may want to get your tires rotated at every oil change.
The rotation pattern is typically moving the back wheels to the front, and the front to the back, but crossing them when moving to the back. If the tires are unidirectional, the rotation can only be rotated front to back on the same side of the vehicle to preserve the rotational direction of the tires. Most unidirectional tires can be moved from side to side if they are remounted; tires with asymmetric rims are a rare exception. More complex rotation patterns are required if the vehicle has a full-size spare tire that is part of the rotation. – Wikipedia
