How Often Should I Rotate Tires?
Hyundai recommends a tire rotation interval of 5,000 to 10,000 miles. We also recommend getting a tire inspection and rotating tires if rapid wear shows up. This maintenance interval invites you to bundle oil changes with tire rotation service for efficient maintenance as they are both needed at the same approximate miles.
What is Tire Rotation?
Tire rotation is a best practice strategy that extends tire life by exposing a set of tires to similar road forces over the long run. Each wheel position is defined by variable load-bearing road forces that will wear down the tires in concentrated weight areas. Rapid tire wear occurs when leaving the tires in the same position for too long. Strategically repositioning the tires helps to prevent tire damage and encourages even wear across the set.
What are the Symptoms of Needing to Rotate Tires?
The symptoms of needing to rotate tires come down to rapid tire wear and the driving comfort problems caused after tire damage happens. The symptoms tend to follow a worsening progression that should be responded to promptly with a tire inspection and tire rotation service as needed. Here are the symptoms of needing a tire rotation service:
- Rapid and uneven tire wear
- Vehicle pulls to a side
- Vibrations that begin as minor and worsen to severe
