Planning tips for this checklist
Track each tire position
Mileage, tread depth, pressure, and position history make tire wear patterns easier to see before they become alignment, balancing, or replacement problems.
Use rotation as a tire health check
A rotation visit is also a good time to check sidewalls, punctures, lug nuts, TPMS, spare tire, wheel locks, and whether balancing or alignment should be quoted.
Set the next mileage immediately
Record the next rotation mileage and any tire warranty notes while the receipt is still in hand, then keep the checklist with vehicle records.
