Description:
Tire rotation refers to the regular
practice of switching the position of each tire
on the car.
Purpose:
Tire rotation helps to equalize
tread wear
and is critical
to gain the maximum life from your tire
investment.
Maintenance Tips/Suggestions: Refer to your owner’s manual for the
recommended
rotation interval and
pattern; generally a rotation interval of 6,000 miles is recommended. The
rotation pattern varies with different makes and models, which shows
the tire locations during rotation. Some vehicles have different
size tires on the front and back or directional tires. This limits
the locations that a tire may take on the vehicle.
When in doubt, check the owner’s manual
or consult a professional technician for guidance. Tire rotation time
also offers a good opportunity to have
the tires and wheels balanced. It’s another step you can
take to maximize your tire investment.
