[quote=Anonymous]My car uses synthetic and has an oil change every 12 months or 10k miles. They suggest a tire rotation every 6 months or 5k miles. I rotate every 5-6k miles not every 6 months. If I haven’t got a tire rotation since my last oil change I’ll do it then. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to rotate at 6 months because you might only drive 2k miles that six month period the. Maybe 5k miles the next six month period so it won’t actually help even out the wear, it could exacerbate it. One thing you should do, if your car is mostly for city driving, take it onto the beltway once a month and get up to speed for 15 or 20 minutes. If you don’t do this you will ruin your exhaust system. If you’re all electric or have a plug in hybrid this wouldn’t be an issue. https://community.cartalk.com/t/how-can-one-alleviate-bad-effects-of-frequent-short-trips/70855/2 [/quote]
