Tire Rotation

Passenger and Light Truck

Adding tire rotation to your maintenance routine probably sounds like a nuisance. But even when alignment is kept up to snuff, tires do wear unevenly. Add to this the tendency for parts to wear and get out of alignment before you take action, and tire rotation begins to make more sense.

Tire rotation helps even out tire wear by allowing each tire to serve in as many of the vehicle's wheel positions as possible, hopefully promoting even wear across the tire tread pattern. Remember, tire rotation can't correct wear problems due to worn mechanical parts or incorrect inflation pressures.

When your tires wear out together, you can get a new set of tires without being forced to buy pairs. If you replace tires in sets of four, you will maintain the original handling balance. In addition, our suppliers constantly introduce new tires, each of which improves upon their past product’s performance. If you replace your tires in sets of four, it allows you to experience today’s technology, instead of being forced to match yesterday’s.

Most mechanics recommend tire rotation somewhere between every 5,000 miles and 7,500 mile.

 

 

 

 

Passenger Tire Rotation

Semi-tractors, Buses, Motorhomes

Steer tires should be rotated from side to side. Drive tires can be rotated from the front axle to rear axle, side to side across the axle, or crisscrossed.

Trailer tire rotation should be the same as the drive tires. There is no restriction on crisscross rotation, including directional steer tires that have worn 50 percent or more of the original tread. In fact, it is most often beneficial to rotate the tires so that irregularly worn tires are moved to a position where they are turning in a direction opposite the original position.
