Tire changes and rotation
Tires are the only part of your car that touches the road. Rotating them and knowing when to swap keeps grip even and predictable.

Rotation cadence
Rotating tires every 5,000 to 8,000 miles evens out wear so the set lasts longer and handles consistently.
Seasonal swaps
In regions with real winters, dedicated winter tires outperform all-seasons once temperatures drop. Store the off-season set clean and out of sunlight.
Understanding TPMS
The tire pressure warning light means at least one tire is meaningfully low. Check all four and re-inflate to the door-jamb specification.
Quick checklist
