How Often Should You Get Your Chevy’s Tires Rotated?

When To Rotate Your Tires

Your Chevy’s front and rear tires perform different functions and wear at different rates. Chevrolet recommends swapping your Chevy’s tires every 7,500 miles or at least twice a year to ensure even wear across all four tires. You can also ask your Chevrolet technician to switch your tires when you take your vehicle for an oil change. 

How Tires Are Rotated

Tires are swapped according to specific rotation patterns based on the type of vehicle you drive: front-, rear-, or all-wheel drive. The driven wheels work harder and wear faster, and moving each tire to a different position evens the wear. 

Front-Wheel-Drive Vehicles

If you drive a front-wheel-drive (FWD) vehicle, the front tires will move straight to the rear of your car, and the rear tires will move to the front. The rear left tire will be mounted onto the front right, and the rear right tire will be mounted onto the front left of your vehicle.

Rear-Wheel-Drive Vehicles

The rear tires on your Chevy will move straight to the front, while the front tires will cross over and be mounted to the rear of your vehicle. The front left will be installed on the rear right, and the front right will be installed on the rear left.

All-Wheel-Drive Vehicles

All the tires will be swapped on an AWD vehicle. The right front tire will move to the left rear, and the left front tire will move to the right rear. 

Why You Should Rotate Your Tires

Having your tires rotated by our certified Chevrolet technicians offers a multitude of advantages. By keeping up with regular rotations, you will have better traction when accelerating, braking, and cornering, even in wet conditions. Regular rotations minimize vibrations that can damage components and disrupt alignment and balancing.
