How Often Should You Rotate Your Tires? FWD Vehicles vs. RWD Vehicles
Tire rotation should be performed every 5,000 to 7,500 miles for both front-wheel drive (FWD) and rear-wheel drive (RWD) vehicles, but exactly how you should rotate your tires depends on your drivetrain. FWD models only send power to the front tires, while rear-wheel drive (RWD) models send it to the back. This influences how tires wear down, so make sure you follow the correct guide.
- Performing FWD Tire Rotation: Flip sides when moving the rear tires to the front. Keep them on the same side when moving front tires to the back.
- Performing RWD Tire Rotation: Invert the process above. Change sides when you bring the front tires to the back and keep the rear tires on the same side as you move them forward.
- All-Wheel Drive Tire Rotation: AWD vehicles see tires wear differently at different speeds, so schedule a tire rotation every 3,000 to 5,000 miles if you drive one.
All types of tire rotation can be performed quickly without sacrificing reliability when you arrange express service with Honda of Kirkland.
Why are Tire Rotations Important?
Now you know how many miles to rotate tires and when to rotate tires, you should really understand why it’s so important. Benefits of following your recommended tire rotation intervals include:
- Reliable traction across slippery surfaces and on steep inclines
- Less road noise
- Reduction of stress on the drivetrain

Your vehicle’s cabin air filter helps remove allergens, particulates, and odors from the interior of your vehicle, keeping things nice and fresh. The cabin air filter also helps keep your interior clean, by removing dust from the air. Like all filters, your Honda’s cabin air filter will become clogged over time. As the filter becomes clogged, it will work less efficiently…you’ll get less airflow, more dust, more odors, etc.
If you suffer from allergies, asthma, or a great sense of smell, you NEED to replace your Honda’s Cabin Air Filter on a regular basis. And an OEM replacement is best, as Honda specifies the amount of filtration for each specific system. Some after-market filters are too light, meaning they won’t filter enough air. Other filters are too heavy, which will strain your vehicle’s HVAC system.
