To “rotate” your tires simply means to swap the individual wheels. For example, you can put the front tires on the rear, and vice versa. But how often do you need to swap the tires?
The answer is: Not very often. Tire manufacturers usually recommend rotating (i.e., swapping) your tires about every 1,000 miles, which means most people are fine with doing it when switching from summer to winter tires or vice versa.
If you store your tires at a tire hotel, or hire a tire repair shop for wheel changes (or tire replacement as it is also called), they will of course check the tire wear, so you don't have to think about this yourself.
Summary, rotate tires:
- Rotating the tires means changing the position of the tires/wheels.
- You should rotate your tires approximately every 1,000 miles
- A good opportunity is when you change to summer or winter tires.
- Tire hotels and tire repair shops usually take care of this for you.
