ROTATE
Regular tire rotations extend the life of your tires , improve performance, and extend the life of steering and suspension components. The process for rotating tires is to remove each tire and reinstall at a different position on the vehicle. The primary benefit of tire rotations is to ensure that all for tires wear evenly. Tires can be rotated using a variety of patterns.
· Front Wheel Drive: Tires in front are moved to the rear and tires in the rear are crossed and moved to the front.

Tires should be rotated every six months or 6,000 to 8,000 miles.
