Schedule ServiceWhat’s Included
- Rotate tires in manufacturer-approved pattern

When To Get This Service
Refer to your owner’s manual or tire-maker guidelines for the exact rotation pattern and interval that match your vehicle.
Routine schedule:
- Rotate and balance every 5,000 – 7,000 miles—usually at each oil change
- Low-mileage drivers should rotate at least every 6 months to prevent flat-spotting and uneven aging

- Tread depth differs front/rear or inner/outer edges
- Cupping, scalloping, or other uneven wear patterns
- Hit a curb, pothole, or other road hazard hard
Your Tire Questions, Answered.
We’ve put together the most important tire info to help you drive with confidence. Need more help? Just give us a shout!
Is balancing the same as wheel alignment?
Wheel alignment and wheel balancing are two different tasks. When we align your tires, we check and adjust the angles of your wheels. This helps your tires last longer and helps your car or truck track straight as you’re driving. Wheel balancing is done to make sure your tire/wheel assemblies are spinning properly, which also contributes to tire life and driving performance.
How often should you rotate tires?
If your tires are relatively new, we recommend having them rotated at the 5,000-mile mark because their deeper tread is more susceptible to uneven wear. For older tires, keep to a tire rotation schedule of 6,000 to 8,000 miles to help ensure all of your tires last longer and wear more evenly. At Road Runner, we recommend that you have your tires checked and rotated during your regular oil and filter change appointment.
Do I need tire balancing after replacing my tires?
Yes, balancing new tires is as crucial as choosing the right ones. It’s not just about mounting them; it’s perfecting their performance. New tires, despite their pristine condition, can have minor imbalances that affect your ride. Ignoring this can lead to vibrations and premature wear. At Road Runner, our thorough balancing process ensures each new tire is fine-tuned to your vehicle’s specifications, enhancing ride quality and extending tire life. Don’t risk poor performance or injury. Schedule our tire balance service today.
How do I know if my tires need to be balanced?
Knowing whether you need to have your tires balanced is an absolute must if you want a smooth driving experience. Key indicators to help you determine if your tires may require balancing, including noticeable vibrations in the steering wheel or floorboards, especially when driving at specific speeds. It may also be accompanied by a thumping sound. Look out for uneven or quick wear on your tires, which often suggests an imbalance. If your vehicle tends to pull to one side, it’s a strong sign that your tires might be out of balance. At Road Runner, our seasoned experts are skilled in quickly identifying and rectifying these balance issues, ensuring your drive is consistently smooth, safe, and enjoyable.
