How Often Should You Rotate Your Tires?

Mechanic with Tires
 

Learning when to rotate your tires can save you a lot of money over time, but the answer can vary from driver to driver. How often should you rotate your tires on average? Most drivers in Westmont and Ligonier schedule a Subaru tire rotation every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. But, your Subaru tire rotation pattern is based on your drivetrain. The team at Sendell Subaru can help you determine exactly when to rotate your tires, so let’s dive into some of the factors that matter when scheduling your next maintenance appointment!

 

 

Why Should I Rotate My Tires?

Tire rotations are a vital part of any vehicle maintenance routine – just like oil changes and inspections. The process of rotating your tires is simple, just move each tire to a new spot on the car. But, this simple process leads to some major benefits:

  • Reduction in overall wear and tear
  • Optimized traction on any terrain
  • Quieter driving experience
  • Less stress on the drivetrain

What is the Subaru Tire Rotation Pattern?

When determining how many miles to rotate tires, you’ll want to look at your configuration. While nearly all new Subaru models are equipped with standard Symmetrical All Wheel Drive, models like the Impreza and BRZ are exceptions. As a result, you’ll need to check your car’s drivetrain to find out the right tire rotation interval and Subaru tire rotation pattern. Here’s a brief primer:

  • All-Wheel Drive: Models like the modern Forester and Outback are equipped with standard AWD, which means engine power is routed to any wheel that needs it. This can boost traction and handling in Murrysville, but it can lead to unpredictable tread wear. The technician will move all four tires to new locations on the vehicle, usually in a diagonal pattern. Rotate your tires around every 3,000 to 5,000 miles.
  • Front-Wheel Drive: Some Impreza models are built with front-wheel drive, which sends engine power to the front two wheels. This means the front tires tend to run out of tread much faster than the rear tires. The technician will move the front tires to the rear axles, while the rear tires will switch sides as they move forward. Rotate your tires around every 5,000 to 7,500 miles.
  • Rear-Wheel Drive: Modern BRZ models are built with rear-wheel drive, which sends engine power to the rear two wheels. Though the front wheel still does most of the steering, the rear wheels wear out faster than a FWD model. The technician will move the rear tires to the front axles, while the front tires switch sides as they move backward. Rotate your tires around every 5,000 to 7,500 miles.

If you take part in more strenuous activities, like frequent off-roading in Ligonier or racing in Murrysville, you’ll probably need to schedule maintenance more frequently. Feel free to ask our service center for advice customized to your particular driving habits!
