Most manufactures recommend you rotate your tires every 5,000 to 10,000 miles.

The main reason is for uneven wear, because activities like parallel parking and three-point turns typically wear out front tires faster than the rear ones.

There are different methods to rotation, which can be found in your owner’s manual. Learn a little bit about rotating tires yourself in this edition of “Your Driver’s Ed” in the video above.
