What is the general recommended mileage for tire rotation?

Tires are recommended to be rotated front-to-back after approximately 10,000 kilometers of driving. Relevant information is as follows: 1. Special note: Not all vehicles are suitable for tire rotation. The key factor determining whether tires can be rotated is whether the front and rear tires have the same specifications - they must be identical to allow rotation. 2. Purpose: The objective of rotating tires between front and rear positions is to achieve even wear between front and rear tires, maintaining good traction, which significantly benefits driving safety. The dynamic balance of car tires is only related to the internal rotational balance of the tire itself. If tire rotation doesn't involve tire repair or replacement, there's no need to perform dynamic balancing.

I just hit 30,000 km and went to the 4S dealership for tire rotation. The mechanic emphasized how crucial this is for city driving. With all the steering wheel turns during daily commutes, front tires wear out over twice as fast as rear ones. Early rotation prevents situations like my last one where the inner side of the right front tire got completely bald – that could cause skidding during emergency braking. Checking tread depth every 10,000 km is a good habit; if the wear difference between front and rear exceeds 3 mm, rotate immediately instead of waiting until 50,000 km. Pro tip: always do wheel balancing during rotation – it solves steering wheel vibration issues too. Now my rear tire wear has significantly improved, road noise dropped by about 10 decibels, and the car feels noticeably more stable.

After completing the self-driving trip in Qinghai last time, I noticed the right front tire was nearly worn out. That's when I realized that for long-distance off-road driving, tires must be checked every 8,000 kilometers. Gravel roads are particularly harsh on tires. For someone like me who frequently drives on unpaved roads, it's recommended to enforce tire rotation every 15,000 kilometers. Rotating the four tires to different positions ensures even wear and tear, otherwise severe uneven wear can easily lead to getting stuck when crossing sandy areas. The most direct way to observe wear patterns: check the serrated edges on the front tires and the depth of the center tread on the rear tires. If the differences are obvious, immediate action should be taken. Remember, when carrying a full-size spare tire, it should be included in the rotation cycle to prevent it from gathering dust under the vehicle for years.

I remember in my first year of driving, I knew nothing about tire rotation until a flat tire led to a lecture from the tow truck driver. Now, I always ask technicians to check wear during every 5,000 km maintenance. For city commuter cars, a cross rotation every 20,000 km is most reliable. DIY is simple too: cross the front tires to the rear positions, while moving the rear tires straight forward. The key is preventing any tire from constantly bearing the brunt - this is particularly effective against alignment issues. After my last rotation, road noise decreased noticeably, and I feel they could last another 10,000 km.
