Routine Tire Rotation and Balance Explained

Tire rotation service is a universally accepted best practice recommended by all automakers and the United States Tire Manufacturers Association. The front tires carry the engine’s weight while handling more steering forces than the rear tires, leading to faster front tire tread wear. Tire rotation service mitigates rapid and uneven wear by strategically repositioning the tires to handle similar long-term forces. Tires rotated according to the BMW-certified pattern will be at every position after 3 rotation services. Tires also become imbalanced as they wear, with the slightest imbalance wreaking havoc on your driving experience and steering/handling components. BMW recommends getting a tire rotation with balance every 10,000 miles.
