Tyre Rotation
Tyre rotation is the practice of moving tyres from one position on a vehicle to another to ensure even wear across all tyres. Front tyres typically wear faster than rear tyres due to steering and braking forces. Regular rotation — typically every 5,000-8,000 miles — can extend tyre life by 20-30% and maintain consistent handling characteristics. The correct rotation pattern depends on the vehicle's drivetrain (front-wheel, rear-wheel, or all-wheel drive).
