The Importance of Tire Rotation
Tire rotation is considered an important technique to extend your tires’ longevity, their upkeep, and enhance safety. It is a common maintenance task that service technicians recommend having done, so you don’t have problems with your tires in the long run. Below, we will go over why you should rotate your tires and how often you should consider having this service done. Thelen Mazda in Bay City, Michigan, can assist you in properly rotating your tires when you schedule a service appointment.
Why Should I Rotate My Tires?
First and foremost, tire rotation is when a service technician swaps the position of your tires, either from front to back or side to side. This is done because tires wear differently and at different rates. This can be based on the transmission type of your vehicle, whether you drive an all-wheel drive, a front-wheel drive, or a rear-wheel drive, and the power of your engine. When you rotate your tires, you can be assured that your tires will wear down properly for longevity and that your tread will last longer. If you tend to drive on gravel or dirt roads consistently, your tires will show accelerated wear due to road conditions and will likely require more frequent rotation.
How Often Should I Rotate My Tires?
In most models, you can consult your owner’s manual for their recommended maintenance schedule for rotations. But as a general rule of thumb, you should have your tires rotated every time you get an oil change done, or generally about every 5,000 miles. When you bring your vehicle in for any other services, you can have the service technicians check over your tires and see if they recommend rotating them too.

If you are due for an oil change or haven’t had your tires checked in a while, schedule a service appointment with our knowledgeable Mazda service technicians! You can send us a service appointment request on our website – we will contact you to confirm your appointment. Or, give us a call at 989-357-7267.
