Rotate your tires every 5,000-7,000 miles (or at each oil change) to ensure even wear and extend their life. Different wheel positions wear differently-front tires handle more steering stress, while rears carry weight.

Regular rotation helps maintain traction, improves fuel economy, and saves money by making tires last longer. Uneven wear can also signal alignment or suspension issues that need attention.

Castle Kia McHenry includes tire rotation with many service packages, or you can schedule it anytime. Our technicians will also check your alignment and tire pressure while they're at it. Call (815) 453-8566 to book a rotation or ask about our tire packages.
