Tire rotation is one of those maintenance items that are easy to overlook, yet can cost quite a bit of money if not done on regular basis. At Adams Autoworx in Albany we recommend tire rotation every 6 months. So in many cases, you can combine it with an oil change, and get both done during a single visit.
