What Is a Tire Rotation?

What Is a Tire Rotation?

When you buy a set of four tires, leaving them in the same spot on your vehicle can ensure they wear down faster. To promote even tread wear on all four tires, it’s essential they get moved around to different positions on your car or truck. For example, a rotation could involve moving the tire on the front passenger side to the rear driver’s side, and the tire on the front driver’s side to the back passenger side.

Remembering Your Next Rotation

We suggest you come in every 5,000 miles and get your Les Schwab tires rotated for free. The type of vehicle you drive, where you drive, and how you drive could mean you need to get your tires rotated more or less often. But, waiting too long between rotations could cause a tread wear pattern that can’t be fixed, meaning you’ll need new tires sooner than expected. Stop by and we’ll help you come up with a rotation schedule to get the most life out of your tires. We’ll even send you email reminders.

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN A TIRE ROTATION?

We’ll rotate your tires to help you get the most from your tread. Plus, we’ll balance your wheels, check the air pressure, give your brakes a visual inspection, and let you know if we see anything that needs attention.

JUST 30 MINUTES

A Les Schwab tire rotation won’t take long. By the time we check you in and get your vehicle into a service bay, your wait will be somewhere around 30 minutes.
