How often does Goodyear recommend tire rotation?
Before rotating tires, always consult the vehicle and/or tire manufacturer for specific recommendations regarding rotation. If no recommendations are found, Goodyear recommends rotating your tires every 3,000 – 6,000 miles to eliminate premature tire wear – potentially saving you the cost of new tires. To avoid the negative consequences of driving on misaligned wheels, it’s highly recommended to get a professional alignment check after installing new tires. Many experts suggest having your alignment checked at least once a year or every 10,000 miles, especially after replacing tires.Having your wheels aligned every two years or 30,000 miles is generally recommended. However, it can vary based on your driving habits and road conditions. Wheel balancing should be done every time you get new tires and periodically checked afterward.Should you get an alignment with new tires? Yes! An alignment helps ensure your tires perform their best, last longer, and keep you safely on the straight and narrow. The team at Jiffy Lube® is happy to help with vehicle alignment services.
At what age are tires no longer good?
Some tire experts contend that tires can last anywhere from six to ten years if they’re stored and cared for properly. We recommend replacing tires aged 6-10 years, no matter how much tread remains. The industry standard useable age limit for tires is 6 years, and we know of no manufacturer that will warranty any tire older than that. Therefore, because it is a safety issue, we recommend against using any tire more than six years old, and we cannot service them.Some tire experts contend that tires can last anywhere from six to ten years if they’re stored and cared for properly.

What is the 3% tire rule?
The 3% rule states that when replacing tires, the new tire’s diameter should not differ from the original by more than 3%. This guideline helps maintain proper vehicle performance, safety system functionality, and speedometer accuracy. As a general rule, you want replacement tires that are within 3 percent of the diameter (height) measurement of the tires originally on your vehicle.
