How often should I rotate the tires on my Ford Focus?

I recently bought a Ford Focus and I'm wondering how often I should rotate the tires. Is it true that it needs to be done more frequently because it's a front-wheel drive car? Should I just follow the manufacturer's recommendations or is it best to do it more frequently for better performance?

Rotating the tires on your Ford Focus is essential for maintaining proper tire wear and overall performance of your vehicle. The recommended frequency for tire rotation is every 6 months or 6,000 miles, whichever comes first. However, since your Focus is a front-wheel drive car, it is recommended to rotate them every 5,000 miles.

I have owned a Ford Focus for several years now and I rotate my tires every 5,000 miles. In my experience, this has helped to prolong the life of my tires and maintain excellent handling and traction.

If you want to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your tires, it's best to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for tire rotation. Additionally, rotating your tires more frequently can also help to identify any potential alignment issues or uneven wear.
