How Often Should I Rotate My Tires?

There are a couple of different times when you can get your Honda Civic tires rotated. For milege, tire rotations are recommended every 5,000 - 8,000 miles. Another option is to get them rotated at every oil change, since your tires will also be due for a rotation at roughly this time. At a minimum, the tires need to be rotated once a year.

What Does a Tire Rotation Do?

A tire rotation is a type of car service that repositions your Honda Civics tires so different parts will experience more or less wear. The purpose of this is to ensure even wear across the entirety of the tire during its lifetime. As you drive your Honda Civic, the tire will naturally wear down and need to be replaced. However, this wear does not occur evenly across the tire. Instead, depending on the car model and roads you drive, your Honda Civics tires will wear in an uneven pattern. Once one part of the tire becomes way too worn, the entire tires performance is affected, even if the rest is not yet worn down. By rotating your tires, the wear gets applied evenly, and you gain the maximum use out of your tires.

Signs You Need a Tire Rotation

There are a few signs you may need a tire rotation, mostly related to increased wear starting to affect the tires functionality. These can manifest as your Civic vibrating when it reaches higher speeds, or making excessive noise when driving. Additionally, you can visually see if your tires are worn by looking at them while parked. If one side of the tire looks more smushed or worn down than the other, it is likely time to get your tires rotated.

Next Steps

It is important when taking care of your Honda Civic to always be keeping up to date with its maintenance, especially if your Honda Civic is experiencing symptoms of low transmission fluid.
