We know that all tires rotate. But this is about another kind of rotation — rotating tires to different corners of the car and maybe even reversing the direction in which they turn. Many tires are rotated front-to-back and side-to-side, but some tires are directional, which means they're only supposed to turn in one direction. They have to stay on the same side of the car. Directional tires often have arrows on the tire's sidewall to show you the direction in which they should turn. If you're not sure which kind of tires you have, check with your mechanic.

The financial benefit of rotating tires is that you'll increase the useful life of the tire. Ask your mechanic to rotate your tires when they're already off your car for another service, such as a brake repair. By rotating the tires, you will increase your tires' life because they'll wear more evenly. If you do not rotate the tires, you'll get fewer miles out of your car. Tires in balance tend to stay in balance. If you're having your tires rotated, don't pay extra to have them rebalanced. You probably won't need it. Have your tires rebalanced only if you feel a shimmy or vibration.
