The Unmistakable Connection Between Rotating Your Tires & Fuel Efficiency

What Does a Tire Rotation Do?

A tire rotation, as its name suggests, involves rotating your tires from their current tire position on your vehicle, to a different position. Doing so helps to promote more even wear, so one tire won’t get more worn down than the other. This cuts down on differing patterns of wear, which reduces rolling resistance. This all, along with ensuring proper tire pressure, all adds up to an increase in fuel efficiency, letting you drive longer before stopping off at a gas station.

When Should You Get a Tire Rotation?

A tire rotation should be done about every 10,000 km, or, even with every oil change as an easy way to remember. To the uninitiated, it may seem like a lot of bother for seemingly not much benefit on the surface, but a little attention goes a long way in ensuring the health of your tires for years to come. You don’t want to have to be paying for a new set of tires way sooner than you should, just because of improper care.
