The point in time when one's tires need to be rotated varies. To be sure about the car in that individual's possession reading the manual could answer that question. However in the event that it doesn't, one should rotate the tires of the vehicle every 5,000 miles or 10,000 miles.

Is it necessary to balance your tires when they are rotated?
It is necessary to balance your tires when they are rotated because blancing results in equal air pressure on all 4 tires. Less air in one of the tires will result in faster wear, resulting in the need to rotate more often.
How should you rotate the tires on a 2012 Honda Civic EX?
You can rotate them two different ways. Back to back, always keeping the tires on the same side of the car is one way. But the preferred method to rotate them is to move the front tires directly to the rear keeping them on the same side of the car as they were installed on as in, RF to RR, and LF to LR. Then take the rear tires and move the RR to the LF, and the LR to the RF.
How often should one do maintenance on a ford escape?
It depends on what year and mileage your vehicle is. Most mechanics and professionals suggest having your Ford escape maintained every 7,500 miles which is the time you should rotate your tires anyway. As for oil changes, you should have that serviced every five to seven thousands KM.
How often should you check your brakes?
You should check your brakes at least one time each year. You should also check them whenever you have your tires rotated.
How do you rotate tires on a Chevy Silverado 1500?
Make sure you don't switch tires from one side to the other. Take the front tires and put them on the rear, and the rear tires will go on the front. Make sure they stay on the same sides that there on. That's it.

If I had a bent rim on one of the front tires would it help to rotate them to the back of the car?
No - replace the rim. Go to a salvage yard and take one off a wreck.
Can one fit a combination of tubeless tires and tires with tube in a car?
Not recommended. All tires on a vehicle should be of the same type.
What helps car wheels last longer?
Basic maintenance is one way to keep tires longer. Keep the pressure up and rotate the tires periodically. If you drive properly, without quick starts, the tread should last better. Notice that, when parking, you do not bump the concrete curb in front or on the side of the tire.
Where can one purchase Bridgestone Blizzak tires?

Is it possible to rotate tires on staggered wheels if you just rotate the fronts with the fronts and rears with the rears?
Well, the answer is maybe - it depends on the type of tire you are using. Some tires are either asymmetrical or unidirectional. Asymmetrical tires have a tread pattern such that the tire has a distinct "outside" and "inside" - that is, the tire must be mounted such that the outside part of the tread faces the outside of the wheel. These tires can rotate in either direction. Unidirectional tires have a tread pattern that requires the tire to rotate in one direction only. This type of pattern may help direct water better and can be seen on many wet-weather specific tires. Note the unidirectional tire has a tread pattern that will funnel water away when rotating in one direction and suck water in when rotating in the "wrong" direction. So you can "rotate" or swap your fronts and rears on a staggered fitment if you are using universal or asymmetrical treat patterns, but not if you are using unidirectional tread patterns. Just swapping the front wheels left to right might help a little - especially if your car has different alignment specs for the left and right, but it's unlikely to be of significant benefit compared to being able to rotate all four wheels.
Is it essential to have one's tires balanced and rotated prior to an alignment?
Hey Laurie==It isn't esential but you need to rotate them when it recommended and balanced when they need it. Goodluck Joe
