Wheels, Rotating
- Vehicles with front-wheel drive experience more tread wear on the front wheels due to the increased stress on them.
- In order for all four wheels on the vehicle to have the same service life, it is recommended to rotate the front and rear wheels.
- Be sure not to mix up tires, which have the direction of rotation marked on them.
- The longer the tire runs at one position, the more it wears at certain points, therefore, it is recommended to rotate the wheels at short intervals, refer to Maintenance Intervals.
- Diagonal rotation is possible only with non-directional tires. This wheel rotation is especially advantageous for heel-and-toe wear. Heel-and-toe wear, refer to HEEL AND TOE WEAR .
- If heel-and-toe wear has already progressed very far and the tread is more than 50% worn, only slight improvement can be achieved and rotation is no longer recommended. The elasticity of the tread blocks declines and the heel-and-toe wear does not progress.
