    If you rotate your tires, don’t forget to get your wheels rebalanced at the same time! So many places, usually quick oil change places, will offer a tire rotation service but WONT rebalance them and then you’ll drive off and wonder why your car is so shaky.

      Well it shouldn’t be any shakier than before, except the vibration might transfer through the steering wheel if you rotate unbalanced wheels to the front.

      Still never a bad idea, but also means you can only rotate tires at tire shops.

      Personally I just don’t rotate them. I have to swap them out twice a year anyway and just put the ones with more tread on the back each time.
