Wheels, Rotating

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Vehicles with front-wheel drive experience more tread wear on the front wheels due to the increased stress on them.

In order for all 4 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, e.g. every 5, 000 km.

Diagonal rotation is possible only with non-directional tires. This wheel rotation is especially advantageous for 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.
