To avoid uneven tread wear it’s important to rotate your tires regularly. Rotating your tires means moving them from one side of the vehicle to the other, moving them from front to back, or a combination of both. Since front tires tend to wear faster than rear tires on front wheel drive vehicles, due to added pressure and resistance from steering, regular tire rotation is key. This will help avoid uneven tire wear, which can lead to poor performance and decreased gas mileage. Some tires must be rotated at specific intervals, while others need to be rotated depending on the wear.
