Tire Rotation

 

Irregular tire wear is a common problem.  It shortens the tread life of the tires and can cause vibration while driving.  To prevent uneven wear and to get the most miles and the best traction out of your tires, it is recommended to rotate the tires every 7,500 miles. 

There are various ways to rotate tires.   Choose the proper method depending on whether your vehicle has front, rear, or four-wheel drive, whether your tires are directional or your wheels are staggered. 

Refer to the diagram below to determine the best rotation scheme for your vehicle:

Note:  Directional Tires should only be rotated according to the diagram on the right.

Staggered wheels have different front and rear sizes so the tires can only be rotated side to side (not shown in either diagram)
