Tire Rotations

Tire rotation refers to the movement of tires to different positions on the vehicle to equalize tread wear and is critical to gain the maximum life from your tire investment. Because each tire on your car supports a different amount of weight, your tires can wear at different rates. By rotating your tires, you can extend their useful life.

When you purchase your tires from Dunn Tire, our Out The Door Pricing includes FREE Lifetime Tire Rotations! If you didn't purchase your tires from a Dunn Tire location, we will be happy to rotate the tires. Please contact us for pricing.

You should always refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for the recommended time between rotations. If no rotation interval is specified, your tires should be rotated approximately every 6,000 miles.

If your tires show signs of irregular or uneven tread wear, bring your vehicle to a Dunn Tire location to have one of our service technicians locate the cause of the wear problem.

Keep in mind that sometimes the front and rear tires on a vehicle may use different pressures. After a rotation is performed, we will adjust the individual pressure to the figures recommended by the vehicle manufacturer (based upon each tires new position on the vehicle).

Sample Rotation Patterns:

NOTE: Do not include a "Temporary Use Only" spare tire in any of the rotation patterns shown. If you have a matching full-size tire as a spare and wish to include it in the rotation process, use one of the patterns shown. Insert the spare in the right rear position and place the tire that would have gone on the right rear in the trunk as the new spare.

Some tires cannot be rotated in the manners described including uni-directional tires and tires with asymmetric tread designs. Also, some vehicles may have different-sized tires mounted on the front and rear axles, and these different-sized tires also have rotation restrictions. Check your owner's manual for the proper rotation recommendations for these special cases.
