Tire Rotation

What Is a Tire Rotation?

A tire rotation means moving each tire to a different position on the vehicle—front to back, back to front, or in a specific pattern depending on whether your car is front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, or all-wheel drive.

Rotating your tires keeps the tread wear even, which helps your tires last longer and your car drive more safely.

Why Tire Rotation Matters

1. Extend the Life of Your Tires

Front tires usually wear faster than rear tires—especially in stop-and-go Burbank traffic.
By rotating them regularly, you spread out the wear so all four tires last longer.

This saves you hundreds of dollars by delaying the need for new tires.

2. Improve Safety and Handling

Uneven tire wear can cause:

• Poor traction

• Longer braking distances

• Reduced control in turns

• Higher risk of blowouts

A quick rotation helps your tires grip the road better and keeps your car stable—especially during sudden stops or sharp turns.

3. Better Fuel Efficiency

Uneven or worn tires create extra resistance. When your wheels work harder, your engine works harder.

Rotated, evenly worn tires help your car roll more smoothly, improving fuel economy.

4. Protect Your Suspension & Alignment

When tires wear unevenly, they put stress on:

• The suspension

• Wheel bearings

• Steering components

A simple tire rotation helps avoid bigger (and more expensive) repairs later.

How Often Should You Rotate Your Tires?

Most vehicles should have their tires rotated every 5,000 to 7,500 miles—often the same time as your oil change.

If you drive a European vehicle, AWD car, or a truck, rotating even earlier can be helpful.

At Burbank Motor Works, we can check your tires and recommend the ideal interval for your exact vehicle.
