Tire rotation intervals – Your policy?
How is determining when to recommend tire rotation normally done at your shop?
Vehicle owner manual recommendation
Tire maker recommendation
Tire vendor recommendation
With every oil change / scheduled service
With every other oil change / scheduled service
Miles interval that you decided on: miles
Technician / shop recommendation based on tire condition. (If this is the case, what are your shop guidelines on when to recommend?)
Other – please describe
Thanks for your input – all comments welcome.

We recommend every 5,000-7,500 miles …unless we find signs of irregular tire wear which at that time we would recommend a rotation…We tell the customers that its easier to include it in with their oil change….a good way to keep up with it.

It depends on the vehicle. A lot of late model cars run more negative camber than older cars and the tires on those cars should be rotated with every oil change… in part due to accelerated shoulder wear and in part due to extended oil drain intervals. We recommend oil changes based on crankcase capacity and owner drive cycles, with the longest recommendation set at 1000 miles per quart of crankcase capacity. In our experience the contamination load determines the drain interval. For large capacity sumps the rotation interval may be shorter than the drain interval… in no case do we exceed 6000 miles for recommended rotation and all rotations come with a free brake inspection.
