When you drive, your tires don’t wear out evenly; your front tires usually wear out faster than your rear tires. To extend the life of your tires, it is suggested that you switch the front and back tires every 10,000 miles. How many times do your tires complete a full rotation before you should switch your front and back tires?

Assuming the average tire completes a full rotation every mile, your front tires would complete a full rotation every 5,000 miles, and your rear tires would complete a full rotation every 5,000 miles as well.

Therefore, if you switch your front and back tires every 10,000 miles, your front tires would complete 2 full rotations (5,000 miles each) and your rear tires would complete 1 full rotation (10,000 miles) before you switch them.
