Discover when to rotate tires on an Altima with our guide from the team at Hanlees Davis Nissan. Our service technicians will also discuss the optimal tire rotation schedule for a Nissan Altima so you know when to bring your car in for service.Ā 

What Is the Tire Rotation Schedule for a Nissan Altima?

When you purchase a Nissan Altima as a new vehicle from Hanlees Davis Nissan, the first service appointment happens at 5,000 miles or six months, whichever comes first. This is when it’s time for your initial tire rotation. We recommend tire rotations every 5,000 miles thereafter to keep your sedan’s treads in great shape.

Other Nissan vehicles, like an SUV or pickup truck, might get tire rotations every 7,500 to 10,000 miles in Woodland. But the reason your Altima comes in more frequently for tire rotations is because it’s a car that gets more zip around Dixon compared to an SUV.Ā 

The Importance of When to Rotate Tires on an Altima

Regular tire rotations for an Altima can help you reduce your overall costs of ownership while keeping your family safer on Davis roads. Let’s say your tires are designed to last 50,000 miles. But without tire rotations, your tires could last 40,000 miles. Over the course of owning your Nissan Altima for 200,000 miles, you’ll need just four sets of new tires versus five if you get regular tire rotations every 5,000 miles.

Other benefits of following the tire rotation schedule for a Nissan Altima include:

  • Improved handling and better road traction during all conditions, from dry pavement and gravel to wet pavement and dirt
  • Less stress on your powertrain due to improved rolling resistanceĀ 
  • Better fuel efficiency due to better handling
  • Less road noise to hear inside the cabin
  • Improved safety for you, your family, and other drivers

When you follow the tire rotation schedule for a Nissan Altima, expect your tires to last around 50,000 miles or more, depending on the quality of your tires.
