wheel rotation
Circular motion around
Wheel rotation refers to the periodic repositioning of a vehicle's tires to different positions—front to back, side to side, or diagonally—to ensure even tread wear and extend tire life.
Mechanics typically recommend rotation every 5,000 to 8,000 miles: I'm due for a wheel rotation.
The term also describes the simple spinning motion of a wheel around its axle.
